Poem

When grief became a shadow
It felt as if nothing else mattered 
Like a sudden darkness
Raining down upon us
Like sucking the light from our eyes 
Like a wound opened multiple times

It follows you like a stalker
Creepily walking behind you
Keeping an eye on your every moment
And when you think you outsmarted it
When you take a deep breath and treasure the moment
It strikes when you are most vulnerable 
Stealing your breath 
While watching you struggle

The weight of what could've been haunts you
Wishing you didn't give in to the world's cruelty 
Whishing you could travel back to the moment 
When the world taught you, your skin was a problem
Telling the broken you 
You love them

When the world forces you to carry perfection 
Whilst teaching white children that their skin equates to perfection 

Wishing the world could see
How damaging trauma can be 
When you make black kids believe 
That they are a crime against humanity 
Carrying it to their teens
And through adulthood 
believing
A world harbouring their envy
When in reality 
It's us They want to be
