THEM: "I love my people and everything black"

But you'll pick a black girl's soul apart
because her skin, body, flex
doesn't look like yours

"Fat bitch, Bad Body" commentary
must be filling to the holes in your insecurities

Must make you feel like more

Now, Black Girl gotta wear her armor
for you and THEM

You-
Adding hurt to a world that already
rejects her

You-
All empty and insecure
Smelling like degradation attached to a slim waist
Or a penis that could never reach the bottom

/Forget Me Not//

I wonder how it felt every time
my love showed up in the back of your throat
and ripped through your teeth

Did you chew the blood rose and the thorn
thinking you would find the rib?
Hoping it would bring me back?

But this is no seance
And I am not a ghost to manifest
for the soothing of your regret

/A Quiet Hell//

I was not meant to be domesticated
   Or house trained like some pitiful bitch
   Tamed as if I were some form of wild beast
   or animal

Even though, I’ve been treated as such
​
I've been bombarded with clenched iron fists
   as if they would make me be quiet
   As if they could somehow keep my glory in a box
   Or beat the echoing contention out of me

But 
I ain’t neva, in all my life, 
been quiet

I'm more of a punctuated run-on sentence like:
You want quiet you betta go to God you want peace you betta go to hell ​
