A broken verse claps across the expanse,
The sky darkens as anger swallows light.
A cold breeze caresses my skin like a cold shoulder,
Snarky whispers, wise yet harsh chill
Wisdom-filled words that pierce my breath.
I run to escape the scorching light,
Immolating sinners while angels weep.
To create anew from the ashes,
I mold clay, abashed by my creation.

Dear brown girl,
Without placing judgment, think about what your face looked like before you were born. Pay attention to what it tells you. You’re a warrior brown girl.

Everyone experiences their version of truth and you’re here to shift it.
Existence is an endless array of joy and pain
no need to agonise
Brown girl to be seen is not a penalty

Brown girl, hear these words and know they're true
You were born a warrior, with strength imbued
Your face before birth, held a wisdom untold
Listen to its message, let its power unfold

A reflection of the truth, that you hold steadfast
You're here to shift perceptions, to challenge what's known
To create a new reality, one that's truly your own

But there's no need to agonise, or feel like life's unfair
