Until Poem by Corey Campbell (BlackChild)

Until you know about sacrificing
all of your wants for your needs.
Until you know about loving a child
later finding its not your seed.

Until you know about going
to the Goodwill to shop for clothes
Until you know about the woman you loved
brought you unfaithful woes.

Until you know about being
with someone who's not in love.
Until you know about being married twice,
something your not proud of.

Until you know about writing late at night,
until your thoughts bring you in tears.
Until you know about hiding
your pain and all of your fears.

Until you know about being a man
in today's society.
Until you know about
struggling day to day to make the ends meet.

Until you know about women
negative comments bringing more stress.
Until you know about women thinking
all men want only sex?

Until you understand the things
and all that I'm going through.
You can't possibly know,
Until you know me.
