True Eyes Poems

If my purpose is hidden
from my eyes,
then I will beg God to see
...

I have many friends
But only a few are true
I have friends that I only say hi and bye to
...

Is it bad to want to be
Labeled something other than a black person?

I remember King speaking,
...

Traveling from a little river to an ocean
tapping back into the forbidden waters that you vowed not to intersect

Drowning yourself in the beauty of the ocean,
...

Compassion, respect, and love
are so hard to find
within a world where anything goes
and where it is possible
...

As an African American girl
I look up to the sky,
not knowing a particular color
but watching the expanded rectangle
...

Sitting there at the desk
Terrified
Of an evil woman
With a posture as stiff as a brick wall
...

Can You Hear That
Can you hear my mind flowing,
the horns blowing
the anxiety building up
...

An inner glow revealed from the
1st verse you ripped

How did you come up with such lyrics
...

If time had stopped,
I would've looked at you closely
listened to my conscience
and ignored the fight
...
