When I was a Child
I am afraid of doing this
Still so fearful after all these years
Still so doubtful of my that and my this
Afraid of what you may think of my actions, of one of my many aspirations
I am doubtful of the words I chose to express my thoughts and emotions
Convinced they are inadequate
And lacking intelligence
Yes, I am trembling as I am writing this
Concerning myself of your reproach
Pondering, pondering on the right approach
Denying myself the right to explore my creativity
Fearful of your negativity
Because when I was a child you told me I was a dunce
Because when I was a child you told me my writing sucks
Because when I was a child your empty words punctured my vital core
Drained me lifeless
Left me fearful and hopeless
But somehow I persevere
And decided to battle my fears by creating this
So finally, yes finally I can cross this one off my bucket list
I can now sing glory hallelujah your disapproval is my strength and my redemption

Poem:
Ism
I heard them say you're too Black
Black can't
Black won't
Black lacks colour ain't no colour in Black
ain’t no colour in Black, but yet they say your colour is Black
I heard them say Black lacks
Black lacks light, there is no reflection just rejections
too Black the stormy nights
Black cats
Black suit Black dress to morn the dead
no light just darkness
I heard you heard
we both heard them say
“Nothing good comes from being too Black”
so you coloured your Black
then prance in the light with a temporary stride
& you, shining their lighter whiter acceptance above your Black rejection
rush back into your Black
don that must-have Black suit, Black dress on your elegant sophisticated Black
don’t you see they are tanning Black
don’t you hear Blacks don't crack
dance Black
sing Black
celebrate Black
pump that fist
power is Black
