Where yesterday never happened,
And tomorrow will never come,
Your future was born years ago,
Less than a day than you had come,
Your first, and we’re forever tied,
Your love is in my heart,
I will love you evermore,
I wish to bring you pride.
The manuscript Blue Lines is the fictional coming of age narrative of a young California woman Key Yemaya Walker, and her 2 year growing journey through school, love, and life period piece, written by Kenneth Suffern, Jr., taking place at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill between the years of 1997 – 1998. Loosely based on true events, and experiences during that time, told through the eyes and voice of the main female protagonist, a freshman first attending the school.
