DIARY OF A BLACKMAN

Diary written within the mind of experiences
Instances with boundaries
The fears within
The Black Man being the Center Man
Spotlight and focus
Acceptances and rejections
Battling the world as if in the military
Times of tears
Being the Black Man meant
Is the world ready to handle to connect
Introspective
Knowing the Black Man will always be a Black Man
Prepared in all circumstances and situations
Compromise but will never surrender
The Black Man Principle
Complexity and Official
Black Man feelings
Unassured and lack confident
A world that doesn’t understand, but label the Blackman’s role
Assertive when needing to be
Black and Brown color trait
Racism high society
The Diary
Black Man
Survival
Commitment and Responsibility
Black Men are taking their place.

Quoth Theraven November 8, 2025 at 8:35 PM Hello Anthony, Some hope in words here, the diary of a black man. Sorry for reality, a great big world blinded in pride, with small minds set in prejudice, and no reason why. Set yourself up to fail, you will. Say you've won, regardless of whatever else comes, you already have. -Richard
