I am depressed, detested, stressed, incapable
of resting, my limbs sinking, my melanin skin
shrinking, tingling, feeling unseen and out of dreams,
damaged beats streaming throughout my bloodstream
as I fear my own life, questioning every stop sign
in my sight, every complicated system that diminishes
the victim, disintegrates them from within, seizing
their complex intelligence and innocence.  Scattered
thoughts were brimming in my mind, my stained eyes
drowned in the oceans of unsound depths, my lips
bleeding confused puddles, shadowy shoulders broken
and slowing down, burned to the ground as the wrecked
words in my mouth traveled to different degrees.
What made the black race such a humiliation?
What made the higher powers of society criminalize
and intellectualize their own manufactured lies?
How could White Supremacy divide and marginalize
African Americans?  How could one rise if society
was one-sided?  I am feeling numb to the bone,
wanting to comprehend the reality we live in, wanting
to awaken and educate the misguided minds who
speculate through their inner design, wanting to stop
the cries of so many who died by unjustified actions.
