My Beautiful Black Mother
My Mother
My Beautiful Black Mother
Taught me
My entire life
Words that do not kill me
Can only make me stronger
My Mother
My Beautiful Black Mother
Showed me
Most of my life
Hands that do not kill me
Have only established Mercy
My Mother
My Beautiful Black Mother
Because of her ruthlessness
I am able to
Survive my darkest moments
Without her
My Mother
My Beautiful Black Mother
Because of her indifference
I am able to
Overcome disappointment
Rather quickly
My Mother
My Beautiful Black Mother
How can I not love her?
Because of her fearlessness
To transcend
A Beautiful Black Mother
I, A Beautiful Black
Skinned
Woman stand
Uncut & Unbroken...
