Rest was a luxury black people weren't granted
Something we wanted
But couldn't afford it
Our survival was more important
Constantly looking over our shoulder
Wondering whilst we're walking
If this is our last moment
Internally we ask
Are we going to be murdered ?
This for us is a daily burden
Being tired is a privilege we don't get
We can feel tired
But we are not allowed to show it
Society deems our feelings to be unimportant
Because apparently black people are not allowed to be vulnerable
We are either seen as too aggressive or too emotional
But rest is something that we've earned
Something we deserve
Something we've come to learn
Is that we are not burdens
And our need for rest
Is not a weakness
And the most important thing is we put us And our families first
And that we won't be the world's carers
Anymore

You're a strong black woman, who’s had her share of disappointments and pain, but you never let it make you bitter; instead, you turned it into gain.
Through every trial and test, you rise higher to face every test, never staying down, each challenge only made you better, polishing your crown.
You hustle for everything you've got, with grit and fierce pride, in every step you take, with strength and grace by your side. In a world that often tries to bend, you stand unbroken, you stand tall, a testament to resilience, the beauty of it all.
Your heart holds stories of struggle, but also of endless hope, in the tapestry of your life, every thread helps you cope. So here’s to you, a woman of immense power and grace, in your journey and your triumphs, you inspire and amaze.
He forgot our roots, from where those women came,
Raised by resilient black women, breaking trauma's claim.
Not a black , I stand as a black woman, strong,
In the absence of your father, I've learned to belong.
Speaking of black pussy, don't reduce us to disdain,
My essence, an ocean's scent, a heritage to maintain.
Hating black women, misguided and unkind,
My body, not your rehabilitation center to find.
In the tapestry of resilience, my story unfolds,
A symphony of strength, in the narrative it holds.
To understand, you must listen, not condemn,
My black pussy, a sanctuary, not built for them.
In the echoes of silence, I rise above,
A black woman, not defined by others' love.
My worth, my power, not for rehabilitation,
For in my own essence, I find restoration.
Don’t try to put a label on me,
I am someone’s child and I am free.
I am not girl or child,
I am not a truant neither am I wild.
I have my own identity as a proud Black woman,
I am beautiful, special and I am strong.
I am not good for nothing or will I be worthless,
Feed my mind with positive thoughts so I can be empowered like the rest.
There are greater heights that I can reach tomorrow,
Help to build my self esteem not burden me with sorrow.
I am not less than any other person that you see,
I am who I am and I can be whatever I want to be.
Take the shackles off my feet and mind,
Help me to rise up and my rightful place find.
It is not about where I am from but where I want to go,
Who I will be years from now you will never know,
So don’t try to put me down like my life doesn’t matter,
I can soar to the top like you or even further.
Feed me with positive thoughts that can help me rise,
Tell me what it takes to achieve my goals instead of all these lies.
Show me the way so I can truly understand that we can be the same,
Call me dreamer ,better yet ,just call me by my name.
Who knew I’d be seeing you,
The butterfly of my life.
You used to be my best friend
I used to be your wife.
I’m writing to say Thank You
To a dear and cherished friend.
It sure is nice to see you.
Thanks for dropping in.
Thank you for helping me to raise
That little girl you see.
Who is now a strong black woman
Giving props to you and me.
Thank you for this weekend
Thanks for the tears I didn’t cry
As I’m going through the meantime
Thank you, BUTTERFLY.
31 YEARS OF BEING THE HAPPIEST MOTHER
IN ALL THE WORLD
IS TRULY SOMETHING TO CELEBRATE
BECAUSE MAKEBA IS MY LITTLE GIRL
I TAUGHT HER TO GRAB LIFE BY THE TAIL
AND NEVER LET IT GO
KEEP SMILIN-THAT’S MY LEGACY
THE BRIGHT SIDE WILL ALWAYS SHOW
SOMETIMES WHEN THE WATER SEEMS TOO ROUGH
I TRY TO STOP HER FROM JUMPING IN
BUT I RAISED A STRONG BLACK WOMAN
HER MISSION IS TO WIN
I’M PROUD OF HER-SHE’S BEAUTIFUL
I’M THE LUCKIEST MOTHER IN THE WORLD
SHE’S 31 NOW AND MY BEST FRIEND
BUT SHE’S STILL MY LITTLE GIRL
Black woman you are my Nubian Queen.
Black woman you are strong.
Black woman you are the one,
Black woman you are a true blessing on this little island.
Black woman you are the embodiment of beauty,
skin bleaching damages the envied melanin that you
bring.
Black woman you are the epitome of love,
for your children you will go far beyond and above.
Black woman you are Rosa, Maya, Faye and Ms. Lou
just to name a few.
Black woman you are the proof of our independence.
Black woman you are complete, yet in complete without
a strong black man.
Black woman you are me and I am you.
Black woman I love you.
Came from Muskogee, Oklahoma;
As a teenager came to care for her elderly Auntie in Omaha;
Whereas she met her handsome older new Navy guy,
Two years later became her husband;
Birth 3 sons-one died nine months later
One born blind, nine months later came, I
A strong black woman died at 39 years
I miss you Mom didn't say I love you enough you see;
So endearing I thank God for thee;
~

If they called you black woman
If they keep reminding you of your skin colour
I know they said you are not beautiful enough
I know they pointed fingers at you about that
Tell them you are aware of that
Tell them unique is never the same
Get up and show them you 're good enough
Good enough to be flexin' in your skin tone
It's okay to be different it shows you are special
It's okay to accept who you are ,
Because no rule said you are impossible
Stand up black woman you are benevolent
Stand up black woman and show your capabilities
Stand up black woman and take up what belongs to u
You choose who you want to be
You choose how you want to be seen
You are smart, unique and beautifully made
You are full of dignity and determination
Keep yourself strong and not afraid of the world.
Keep that chin up and head high because you are a blessing.

Chances are
You are beautiful
No need for second glances
You are
Your caramel skin
Your moon glow ivory grin
Mellow brown eyes
Your strong barren thighs
Those perfectly geo-metric breasts
Plum ruby-tan brown lips
God made all of this
Chances are
You are beautiful
No need for second glances
You are
God made you whole
Beautiful black woman
Your intelligent
Your nurturing gifts
sometimes Mother and Father
So much wisdom
Courageous choice
Such a lovely voice
I love the more of you
You are bronze, tan, brown, blacken and blued
Wonderful you
Chances are
You are beautiful
No need for second glances
You are
God made you whole
Beautiful black woman
and I thank God for making you
Beautiful black woman
and I thank God for making you

Black woman
Strong, black woman
You come from a mighty land,
Your skin is made from God's pure earth,
Strong, black woman you're beautiful
You are made by a king
Walk like the champion you are,
You were crowned the Queen of the land
Back and strong and proud to be a woman .
You rise from the struggle
You grow from the pain
Strong, black woman
Head held high you are not afraid of the shackles.
Strong and black and proud to be woman .
I love a black woman
For she hails from my clan.
She can cook my meals,
She can speak my tongues,
She's drilled in my culture.
She'll pray through nights for me,
She'll always be there for me.
She bakes a cake and feed her toddlers first.
She erect a strong and make a lifelong nest.
She's economical and preserved.
She is the taste that gives the world fragnance.
But she's never my taste,
For she has never stop being fake.
Here is different weaver from a different tree:
A white woman is a white entity,
Full of grace and laced with fortune.
Speaks from her heart and makes you cry:
Makes you laugh always when you want your chin work.
Fragnance emanating from her body
revive dead muscles without doctor's prescription.
She's all that you want
For she cares for all you want.
She knows when your heart skips,
She knows how to fix the skipped heart.
Candidly, i love a black woman
But i want a white woman...
A white woman is my taste...
Who'll be my ........
Searching...

She came from the belly of the poor
She struggled for the rights of the people
A strong black woman
She gave the inner-city youths the hope to become what ever they wanted to be
The mother of our nation, we all called her Sister P
She gave her life for politics and the rise of the Jamaican economy
When you talk about a phenomenal woman you speak of the great Portia Simpson Miller
She never looked down on anyone unless she was picking them up because she understood love and humility
No matter what the colour of your flag orange or green we all loved her
She's not afraid to tell you her mind that's what great leaders do
She's the first woman Prime Minister
She made all women proud
She's a political icon
Stand tall my phenomenal leader, Portia Simpson Miller
You made your contribution to the land we love Jamaica
It's the end of an era we thank you for a life well spent serving your country, Jamaica
Dear Mom,
This letter is for your eyes only
Something to reflect on
Whenever you're feeling lonely
I know these days and times things are tough
And you know that's not pleasing to me
Just to know behind ever tear there's a smile
That makes the hardest things easy
Life's problem don't have a friend
No matter whom you are, or what you've been through
Thanks for being A Strong Black Woman
And not allowing them to break you
Single Parenting, Alcoholism, Drug Addiction, Drug Dealing, The Prison System, and even Teen Pregnancy
They all threw rocks at you
But you never shattered
Simply Loving the Lord with your whole heart
Is all that mattered
You taught me to keep prayer as my partner in ever hand that is dealt
I LOVE YOU for that, and thank you very, very much
I HOPE THIS WILL HELP!
