Day 10

Today is a Tracy Chapman kind of day

The kind of day were all my

Hopes and dreams are true

My freedom is not shackled

And

Strong

Women

Speak

Truth

Today is a Tracy Chapman kind of Day

Day 5

Crisis never fully formed

Triggering memories of past tragedies

Making me wish that

I wasn’t tryin’

To pass on my baggage

Crisis never fully formed

Revealing past scars

Making me wish that

I would let them heal

Believing in his trust in me

Crisis never fully formed

Because I’m not the same as them

Making me understand that

That trust is true

And I can love too

Flowery balm that

Soothes my soul

Seedlings of optimism

Planted in positive realities

Grow within me

I have the black strength
That came from my ancestors
That runs through my blood

I don’t need guilt
To save me
To save the world

I have the black strength
That came from my ancestors
That runs through my blood
