I've learned to love my black face to stand in adversity and embrace all the god-perfected beauty that he has placed on this resilient black face resilient able to recoil or spring back into shape after bending, stretching and being compressed resilient the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties the very definition of black and its beauty the definition of 300 hundred years of slavery and then modern complicity to be black proud and beautiful openly to live in a world where  European features are aspired to and to be black is frowned upon so if you have any black then you’re shunned But we all know the stars couldn’t shine without the black space allowing them Any giving moment our black greatness could swallow them   And funny thing is the same black face you call a disgrace only to turn around and try to obtain the very thing you shunned   so why is it that my curly hair is detrimental to society and my full lips cause controversy and my ****** curves taking as trends and stolen from me   told that white is what is to be and white model thin is in while you praise poseurs for their  artificial curves and fake tanned skin yet through all the racial sin that dates back to 1910 when the KKK became known for lynching black men still then we are able to stand in a crowd of hate and discrimination the years of toil being perceived as an abomination and still love our skin still rock our curly hair and color our full lips still embrace our curvy hips and embrace our “ghetto names” and our ghetto trends proud of it proud of my face yes I'm proud of my skin because to be black is to be beautifully resilient                By poetic90's

There is no word more painful than the word Maybe Maybe they loved each other or maybe she could have made it or maybe it would have all been okay. If they had tried. Maybe. But it never was and never will be. A word with so much potential. So much unknown. Maybe, but no one will ever know.

Will you not? Will you not love me will you not fill in my openness will you not take the cloak we use to converse under solely as friends to cover me in your love Have you not falling in love with my rivers of flaws like I've falling for yours will you not entertain my passions, theories and intellectual madness of what is greater instead of this world brutal reality Have I not expressed my love for you in your purest form? love me love me, will you? will you not? Then dismantle me ...dismantle me, I beg! dismantle me for I cannot bear a life without your love as my inheritance. By Poetic90's
