Unmoved (A Black Woman Truth)

I’ll leave the way I came

Unseen, unheard, unmoved

A Black woman truth

4 years old too Black to play

My first crush showed me all the right shades for his love

And it brands you

You get a new leader and think you know trauma

I’m 20 years of breakdowns and mantras

Spare me the shock in looking at yourselves

It scares me there’s shock I could love myself

How I do

Oh

Cry in the bathroom

But they’ll never have you

It’s always been bigger than this

And I ****ing swear I swear down

That we love ourselves politically

It’s rebellious

Are you sitting comfortable

While we bleed in vain

I’ve died by other names

Please make me feel you care my ally

But are you prepared to

To lose your sleep

To bare your teeth

To break like me

Cry in the bathroom

But they’ll never have you

It’s always been bigger than this

And I ****ing swear I swear down

That we love ourselves politically

It’s rebellious

I’ll leave the way I came

Unseen, unheard, unmoved

A Black woman truth
