Sitting there looking out far beyond your front porch

Knocking, loud noises, children laughter, car horns blowing

What do you see….Joy, carelessness, in the children eyes

An image of what you once used to be

What happened to the innocent child that you see…?

I WILL ROAR!!!

Is it those little boys that played video games, football, and basketball or aspired to be GREAT?

Is it those little girls that had Barbie doll houses, jump ropes, even cry when they got hurt?

I WILL ROAR!!!

I’m spinning out of control, spinning, spinning, and spinning

Why are people walking pass me like I am invisible?

Is it because my hair is down my back, my shoes 6’ inches high, and my ass like a peach?

My face like a baby’s smooth ass, my legs long like a giraffe, or how I am built like a stallion?

SHUT UP! YOU BITCH! FUCK YOU! WHORE!

HELP ME, HELP ME…….HELP ME!

Those are the words shouted at me.

I WILL ROAR!!!

The words of “I will rob you” or “Give me everything”

The children killing one another over an argument

The knowledge of Gun possession but not knowing which way the bullet is coming

The fear that has my hands trembling, knees weak, head high, heart pounding and tears form!

Ambiguous, Ambitious, Will Power, Willfulness, Happiness has ALL been taken away from ME!

I WILL ROAR!!!

When will it be my turn to ROAR LOUD!

Guns drawn, people running, bodies dropping But no one will make it STOP!

Funeral’s every week not because of natural causes but VIOLENCE.

When will it STOP?

I can’t take anymore, Maybe ME next, my brother, my mom, or rather just another family member.

When did so much anger and hatred come?

I WILL ROAR!!!

Is it worth the taking of one’s life that we will realize the nature of society, the images drawn out for us to be? What are we to be?

Low-lifes, Bums, The Growing Poor, the Unemployed….. We have so many names that justify our unjust acts.

When will it STOP?

Can someone tell me?

The image or person of a painted picture didn’t ask to be, neither did we but granted life and the unthinkable imaginable things to see or do shall be reached, or rather say CONQUERED!

I AM A BLACK WOMEN INSPIRED TO BE, I WILL ROAR! YOU JUST WAIT & SEE!!!
