I am afropunk
I am not what is protrayed by mainstream media
There is more than one black experience
They make movies about me

My hair is not it's natural color
I've pierced the skin behind someone's lip
And when I grow up
I want to be in a band

There is the chance that I might change my mind later on
But that doesn't give you the excuse to ignore my existance
There is more than one black experience
So stop pretending we're all the same
idk I'm not exactly your average afropunk but **** everyone acts like the only black experience is the "gangsta/hood rat" experience and there's nothing wrong with those who have that experience but I have not and I'm tired of not being portrayed in mainstream media/the punk scene!!!!!!

Just as long as I hear you laugh. . .
Just as long as I see you breathe
Just as long as I see you smile
Thats all you owe me. . . .

I'm becoming something I wish not to be

I'm becoming something other than I protrayed

Without you here, I'm becoming so random

No direction home
No home, its where the heart lies
And I just lie

— The End —
