Black Bird
A poem authenticating blacks
Black bird
I don’t wanna be called so anymore
I know I’m black but just call me a bird
I’ll fly with my broken wing
And I’ll not only sing into the deep of the night
I’m done with the pain and loneliness
The world will learn to hold me
Soon enough, you’ll see
And I’ll learn to love and care
and I’ll transcend beyond these thresholds
I’ll wear strength and wield courage
I’ll put on insane courage and
an embarrassing bravery
And then I’ll be known as a
BRAVE BIRD
