“When I was younger
I thought I had superpowers
Thought if I sat real still and stared at a book
No one would be able to see me
I got so good at it
I forgot that I’m the only one playing the game
Sit still with a book or my head down
And you can go missing”
― Mahogany L. Browne, Chlorine Sky

You say what it is & if you can't say what it is
Or if it hurt too much,
Or maybe it's too confusing
You just say "whatever"

“Play smarter
You can't beat everyone
Sure
You may outrun someone but they always catch up.
You can outthink but they always catch on.
If they box you out.
You make a new box. You make them play your game.”

“Cousin Inga says never trust a person

that can't look me in the eyes
& I want to believe it's that easy.

But what if someone can't look at you
because they heart is broken too?

Or what if someone can't look at you
because they can't face the truth?

Or what if someone can't look at you
because it's hard to stand up for the right thing?

Everybody wants to be a hero, but most of us
are just misunderstood villains.”
― Mahogany L. Browne, Chlorine Sky

“Ain't no more playing small

Ain't no more being still
Ain't no more being quiet
Ain't no more time for all of that

I want to do something that don't teel folks
They have a right to tell me who I am.

I won't be treated differently because I'm a girl
& today everything changes.”
― Mahogany L. Browne, Chlorine Sky
