I often wonder
will the color of my skin
always hold memories
and caress lashes in the eyes of others.
–
Though I be black,
I be woman.
So might I stand behind our men
on the days they choose to protect us.
–
Rather there be days
where sensuality defines
my worth.
–
Might I be worth more
then what you see?
–
Though I be
woman,
though I be black.
–
Might I be free
and live in equity?
