October 1

I 'm October 1 Evidence of heroes past. my dares too dear my attitude too black with the brilliance to dare. I dare where my forefathers dread. Inspite their absence, i'm still alive still breathing. I'm October 1 The end of a white man's brush. As certain as the sunset, issue emerge people diverse,as tissues remain from self inflicted issues, yet I still stand on all fours. I'm October 1 54 years too young still hoped for in years to come my birth was so longed for, yet a mistake. As a nation with a name and long as am free this wall cannot contain my spirit. I'm October 1.
