0 how do I...
how do I tell you that you are not alone
we were all there once
looked down upon and stereotyped
for some, time has faded the memory
for others, it is clear as day
how do I show you that you are not alone
we have all felt the pressure
weighed down by others' expectations
some have forced the memory away
others hold on to it tightly
how do I help you understand that you are not alone
we were all there once
struggling to simply be young
for some, it is lost and so they do on to you as was done to them
for others, it is a knowledge they wish to pass on to you
how do I...
when your focus is on the some who cannot remember
when all you feel is the some who oppress
the some whose expectations for you are limited
how do I get passed them to make an impact on you
how do I...
one of the others who understands were you are coming from
one who has seen what you have yet to see
who knows where you are going
how do I impart on to you that I truly do understand

0 Welcome to the Cocoa-Bean
(Welcome to the Cocoa-Bean where...)
Words poured from their lips
invoking emotions within those around them
love and joy
sadness and despair
anger and frustration
hope and peace
(Welcome to the Cocoa-Bean where...)
An array of feeling flooded the room
using only a few simple tools
the timbre in their voice
the imagery of their words
the passion in their heart
(Welcome to the Cocoa-Bean where...)
As a single voice takes hold
breaking through the surface into everyone's core
smiles pierce lips
tears escape
teeth gnash
laughter sparks
(Welcome to the Cocoa-Bean where...)
Carefully structured verses penetrate
provoking thought about one's own self
use of metaphors
incorporation of similes
employment of symbolism
exploitation of repetition
(Welcome to the Cocoa-Bean where...)
As the last word resounds
snapping of finger chorus throughout
showing appreciation
echoing shared sentiment
expressing new found feelings
releasing built up emotions
