Kersaia |
Should I look back? |
or should I look away? |
Do I have a choice or is inevitable? |
The laws of the land say that I must submit |
Yet the laws of my body confuse me |
I am a woman, bought and sold to bear the fruit of a seed that I do not wished |
to |
Plant, but perhaps there’s a way for me to survive, to strive, to, |
maybe even be me, to be free, me to be, me to be free, me to be me |
How would I rectify in my soul, once I meet my maker? |
Black man, red man, brown man, white man |
Where is my savior? |
where is he? |
or where is she? |
Perhaps it is me |
I have seen so much, but yet have experienced less than most dogs |
I am smart, I am strong, I know how to survive, with the sophistication only |
known to the cunningness of beings |
I am the beginning, of the female hustling spirit |
Hustling to survive, so that others may strive, to be something more than me |
Hustling to survive so that others may strive to be something more than me |
Hustling to survive so that others may strive to be something more than me |
I am… |
…Coin, coin |
I am… |
…Coin, coin |
I am twenty five |
There will never be pictures of me |
Jones, Jones, Jones, Jones, Jones… |
