This poem is wounded
Written with bleeding trembling fingers,
creating Choking suffocating imagery
death has never been this painful
This poem is crying
tearing for what's lost never to return
This poem is tragic
stitching Whatever's left of your heart
This poem is a movement
giving voice to the oppressed
fighting for equality and justice
in a very cold world
This poem is your future
Modeling you for success
reminding you
even if it's a world filled with malice
there's still beauty in it
