Juneteenth
A poem I wrote June 19th 2017
I’m searching but, what am I looking for? I'm scrolling but-
What am I hoping to see?
Pass codes and telephones
But who am I gona meet?
Who am I going to be.
They keep us on our toes
Making sure we dont skip a beat.
I follow you, you follow me
Is this how living goes?
We just follow the fleet
A follow on I-G.
But can this be my legacy?
Can I pass this down to make sure that they have a better life than me?
To Live life free
To think and to be-
With no boundaries!
Searching..
I'm searching for self worth and prosperity.
Finding.
Discovering the limit and understanding that there is none.
Im woke
And Waking up
tapping the kings and queens next to me
Building up black
Black power
Black love
Black matters
Being brown and black matters
And over the course of time our people have had to choose between,
Being or Being black.
Searching for our meaning
Im Searching for my meaning
But what comes up is bleak
But when i look into me or a black stranger on the street
Our mind and our body shine with 246 possibilities
I can and I will be
Anything ✨
