A Love Poem

a love poem. Defy those voices that say you can’t Defy those images that belittle who you are Defy those people that say black is not Defy those people that say black is Love your brother Love your sister Love yourself Love all people Don’t ever stop growing Don’t ever stop seeking Don’t ever stop loving Don’t ever stop being Who you are is good enough Who you are is more than enough Who you are traces back to Africa Who you are Kings & Queens Stand up for yourself King Stand up for yourself Queen Stand up for yourself Stand on God’s promises And you will achieve! kashan fields
