I am a black girl
I am a black Muslim girl
I speak for the black boy
And the black Muslim boy
I speak to them now
I ask of you what I wish
and I am sitting in my bed and
i see the water turn my doorknob,
dissolve the door hinges
and all I can think is that “orange” is
the only word that has ever seemed to rhyme
To the darkskinned black girl,
You are compromised of honey, cacao, love, soul, and have been delicately, intricately, and selectively crafted by the very fingers of God himself.
I am black
And I am a girl
And with these traits I hold danger in my arms like a mother to a son she wasnt ready for
How could you ever be ready for the world when the world isnt ready for you ?
Where I’m from
by : Bria Baptiste
I am from the small kitchens
From the soulful sounds of the urban
And the colorful playgrounds
Hello from the other side.
A darker side of life where you are the last brown crayon to be picked in the box.
So rich in flavor, natural and raw
It's no clue no one can withstand my
Exploding, mouth-watering taste so pushed to the side
They leave me a waste..

I have lived for decades I have lived for yearsI am the image of the African American girl and her struggle.
Go ahead, groan.
roll your eyes, chuckle, snicker, do whatever you like.
It's that girl. Me.
You know exactly who I am.
The black girl living in a predominantly white area.
I want someone.
Someone whose thoughts will collide with mine.
Someone whose thoughts shall make love with mine.
Someone whose on the same wavelength as me.
Someone who can fuck with me.
She was quiet.
But she wasn't shy.
She had an attitude of a lioness.
The mindset of Angela Davis.
And a spirit that God would soon bless.
She was gracious on a daily basis.
Name me as the hope of the slaves
Frame me in my mothers gaze
Let me breathe in open air
Even though we've yet to make it there
Black bodies sway in time
With the drums playing in my mind.
These four walls hold me in
Blank and bare, so naked, I stare
The dimmed light from the screen
Makes a
Glow.
A dull glow because it is dark, past 11.
