Self Portrait
Self portrait
“Black” is what you call me; in those moments I too fail to find the right brown to
describe me. Somehow this skin matches perfectly
with my eyes.
“Great pair of tits”.
Without ‘the wonder bra’;
the imperfections of one
hanging lower than the other, declares my womanhood.
Somehow this gives power for some to discriminate,
dictate my rights;
often I find myself swimming in the pool of inequality.
“Friendly smile” that’s where they always leave it.
Never digging below the surface;
into a mind bursting with;
creativity, innovation;
always hope, joy, peace, love, wisdom,
and sometimes dismay, anger and fear.

Awakened
1. Awakened
I awakened at four am
To the voice of my soul
With clarity
It was laid out
What I needed to see, to know, to be
The mist shifted
At last I knew
My deepest truths
Had all been waiting to flow
I just needed to awaken
From the nightmare of thought
That got me to this point
I shall not slumber again
For this now
Is where I ought to be
