Black Man
I’m black but also human.
I’m a man but I also have emotions.
Can’t show no fear but I’m freighted.
A bullet can come my way, from a cop or op that looks just like me.
Deep down, I struggle with that notion.
I want to see everyone grow.
Be the best that they can be but we fight these burdens of everyday life.
It’s layered on top of us.
Layers that prevents us from seeing our true self.
They say we’re hiding but we’re buried.
Suffocating, gasping for air but no one hears.
Or do they even care cause we’re men that are black and the odds are always stacked.


Sensation
I miss your sensation but it’s gone like plantation for the slaving.
I’m caving off this Hennessy.
Dreaming of your canopy.
Losing my sanity cause I want you here with me after what you did to me.
Feeling so stupidly cause I’m fluent in this misery.
Asking why pain so glittery.
It tempted me now I can’t be free.
You got the to deed to me.
I can’t escape the need to fight it like creed.
I hardly get any sleep.
Thinking of you when you out in the streets.
I was all for you but wasn’t for me.
yo. tell me about where you from. if you don't mind
I’m from New York
Midnight
At night is when the darkness come to flirt.
It’s jealous of your joy.
It hopes to destroy with no remorse.
In torch your thoughts.
Exposing your faults.
Depleting your source.
Your endorphins running thin.
Walls closing in.
These mental wars has no end.
Want to scream for help but no one understand.
Nor do they care to give a damn.
This pain is in command.
Now you’re sitting in a pool of your own sweat.
Living through all your regrets.
Within yourself you digress.
Your stress take center stage.
Putting on a show for the ages.
Taking a bow for your devastation.
Purest
Your the purest skin but treated like the latter.
And black man we scattered.
My perception of us has shattered.
We suppose to be kings who uplift our queens but lately we been leading them to disaster.
And all I hear is laughter.
Jokes and games like we all wasn’t in chains.
We should be put to shame but we can never see the errors in ways.
We’re men, this how we’re train.
We received praise for what slay.
Never taught restraint.
How to deal with pain.
This is probably why we reciprocate in harsh ways.
Projecting it on our beautiful reflections.
Choosing lighter complexion cause they don’t call us out on our lack of direction.
I will never understand this disconnection.
I will never get the lack rage.
This boil the blood in my veins.
How we allow them to stand alone through all their agony and pain.
Down play all their accolades cause we hate to see them be great.
Hate see them achieve more than what we can equate.
What we bring to plate would deflate any mate who choose to engage.
Instead of upgrade we display hate to heal our ego that’s already in fragile state.
Then when we flip the tape and blame it on their traits.
The way we manipulate, irritates.
It’s time for a change of pace.
Super Women
You can be vulnerable, that don’t make you weak.
Wearing a cape for so long you forget about your needs.
Your soul needs to feed.
What you see on the feeds only impedes,
Take your own lead.
Dismiss the stares and whispers.
You can can cry yourself a river.
No need to hold on, that only makes you bitter.
Remember those figures that didn’t listen to your tears but expected you to wipe theirs.
You gave your all but it’s never returned.
Going on like reruns.
Using and abusing, Never no healing.
When will it be done.
You carried a ton.

The Stars
I look to the star, they don’t shine the same.
I want be a star but the spark is not the same.
Passionate to passionless.
Losing sight of who I am.
Only seeing the scars.
Feeling what I lost.
This pain is not for sport.
Impression
Born in a less than ideal situation.
Having to find a way to elevate when you only see devastation.
Learning to be a better person when you only see questionable foundations.
And don’t you dare think differently.
You’ll be singled out and shamed.
Stay in a child's place is all they paint until it’s stained.
What you speak will cross everyone's ear frames.
Can’t even be confined to a parent.
Your feelings will be displayed on a canvas and they wonder why our trust vanished.
Now opening up is so phantom.
Their lack of loving, patience, and directions makes us less equipped for future relations.
Choosing yelling over communication.
Leaving us with no understanding of our transgressions.
Not knowing who we become is a reflection of their lack of preparation.
Forcing us to grow up too early.
Not mentally but with responsibilities.
Hindering our possibilities.
Encasing us in their own Insecurities.
Highlighting similarities from a parent with ongoing hostilities.
Basing our capabilities on theirs.
That ain’t fair.
We ain’t ask to be here, we’re products of two toxic pairs who don’t know how to actually care.
Ain’t saying the love ain’t there but there’s certain ways a child needs to be love that parents are unaware.
I’m here to showcase my writing I hope you enjoy
Never lose sight
Black is beauty.
Dark is elegant.
Loving how the sun bounce of your melanin.
What you telling em. Radiant, nothing less than.
No degrading, only praising.
Severance for mental separation.
For the years looking for acceptance, second guessing.
You’re a blessing and you shine every second.
Relish in your skin.
You are cherished.
Never change for someone’s prejudice.
We’re so evolved but so primitive.
Powerful but still so broken.
A part of us is still stolen but it’s like we chosen to forget.
Masking it with hate and anger.
Our spirit is in danger.
Corrupted by different pigments or higher shades.
We are caged.
Not with bars but in our minds.
Boundaries higher than the Everest climb.
They would hate to see us at our prime so they attacked our pride.
Demoralize.
Then cast a gaze over our eyes.
And we think we’re alright cause we have fabric from different lands or material from deep within the land.
Unknown that we’re in quicksand without a branch .
