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.
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 .
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.
Endless Cycle
You hurt me and I hurt the next.
It’s how the game goes.
It flows with no remorse.
Leaving hearts in parts.
All out of sorts.
Love is an art but pierced in the process.
Everyone moving on without healing from the ex, hurting everybody next.
It’s an endless cycle; different variables.
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.
My energy is priceless but lately I been letting everyone pouch in like Tyson.
I was clueless that I was investing in sourceless Entities.
Allowing deposits from insignificant funds when I been giving out fortunes.
Extortion from the people I hold dear.
Depleting my shares for who would vanish when I need little bit care.
I been facing despair when no one is near.
I’ve become accustom to disappearing instead of asking for help cause for me, no one else is truly there.
A burden I came to bear but still lend a hand when I hear someone else cries.
Maybe it’s how I was raised.
My mother instilling me with generous ways.
Or I’m just a people pleaser that doesn’t know how to say no.
The most loyal or most stupidest.
A stewardess in pleasing but never in dismissing.
Maybe it’s a mission from divinity.
Embedding a large amount of empathy within me.
A coping mechanism to avoid my own vacancy.
Steadily engulfing myself in everyone else’s misery.
Knowingly knowing that the energy I receive take toll on me but I continue to indulge in things that’s no good for me.
I’m the biggest danger to me then any weapon formed against me.
Self inflected wounds that could of been avoided.
Mental trauma that still need to be sorted before else where involvement.
I just want to be dormant but everybody keep calling.
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.
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.

Shame
All I feel is shame.
Suppose to be the next big thing.
It was all in my genes but I can’t fulfill that dream.
It got me going through the motions.
Handing out potions.
During a lot of healing so I won’t feel.
A coping skill to distract me from the chills I get.
It goes hand and hand with the liquor I sip.
Hiding behind it’s lit so I can keep pouring it.
Drowning myself cause I’m tired of the reality of it.
It keeps downing me and I keep doubting me.
Overthinking cause I don’t know what you think of me.
Do you hear my pleads as I scream.
Or is it only in my mind?

yo. tell me about where you from. if you don't mind
I’m from New York
Colorist or preferences
Hiding behind what they prefer
Knowing deep down they can’t stand someone of a less shade.
This goes back when we were slaves or when we were in caves.
When our pigment protected against the suns rays.
As the sun caressed our skin with elegance.
The glow of gods and goddesses.
Maybe they hated it.
So they punish.
Bashed it until we lost pride if it.
Losing our ancestral essence.
We were Kings and Queens but now they only see us as good in the sheets.
Or anger at its peak.
It’s no in between.
Never see what’s underneath.
We’re human beings.
Regardless of what they see.
