Colleene Kabaria Poems

Can she be on top of her class?
A black girl can.
Can she achieve a scholarship?
A black girl can.
...

To create the perfect friend,
You need a dash of honesty,
A pinch of humility
Drop of compassion
...

Vile.
So cantankerous, people scamper and shadow
No one to be seen.
What happened to this person?
...

I am a girl
who no one understands
who think they understand
but don't.
...

You can do anything.
Become a doctor… go do it!
Become the president… go achieve it.
It might seem rough
...
