To All my Black women
Black trans women, Black non-binary people
Black femmes, Black women-identifying folks
I wish to see you smiling, carefree
Uplifted and glorified
My beautiful, bless'd, melinated niggas
I love seeing shit like that
I love you I. Love. You
How many tired as fuck, how many treated like dust
How many fight and cry with people who lie and tell us we just outta luck
Like we have all the same chances, no
We fought for all advances, right
Raising myself I advanced quick, grew up too fast
Shoot up like weeds outta grass
Nearly got shot gotta laugh, high off the gas
Get lost in the fumes, suffocate
So you'll never see me bloom, resuscitate
Baby snuffed out too soon
That's why I love the moon
The moon
Been burned too often to be open, it's an omen
My skin blisters on cold wind
I feel frozen
What, what, what, what direction to go in
One more blow I could go in'stead
I could flip it on the head
You will not find me dead
No more of them Twitter threads
My life is joy I spread
I make the choice to raise my voice or
claim my calm if things keep goin wrong
Like when I turned around and all my walls fell down
Where's all my family now
I try to call no *****
Ma never hears me speak
She'd rather seek salvation up among the clouds
Hush child you talk too loud, shhhh
See, this is why I shut them out
What's worth remembering
Those I couldn't teach, those I couldn't reach
Maybe if I, maybe if I
Scream
May someone have mercy on, may someone have mercy on
Me
The burden is massive, it's urgent
Just asking for fairness, I'd say we deserve that
I'd say we deserve that
I wish for, I wish for
I wish for the soul of Toyin to be laid to rest
I wish for Breonna Taylor's killers to be
Dealt with
I will remember and speak her name
She who was, she who
I wish for TeTe Gulley to be here
I wish for Riah Milton, for Rem'Mie Fells, for Ashanti Carmon
I wish for
My skin to be melanin and paper thin
No bully in me
No hide to hack away
I wish you handled me as carefully
As a single sheet
Be careful I don't slip through
Even the finest form can cut you
And leave you
To bleed
