Nobody wants to hear that stuff…
Keep it to yourself…
When I try to tell someone
About black history and the truth
I was told to keep it in the house,
Keep it in your room…
Like nobody wants to talk about racism…
Nobody wants to listen, nobody
Wants me to post anythin about
Black people on social media…
I’d lose my white friends….
Someone said I might lose the benefits
If I said somethin….
I don’t wanna be forced to apologize for
Doin the right thing….
I’m not famous,
I’m a regular person who writes poems
After having coffee in the mornin…
Regular person who draws Disney characters
In my sketchbook
Talkin to my friends on Instagram….
And on melaninated people dot net….
Yes I’m someone who is woke
Who knows what’s goin on…
I’m just a poetess that’s roll on by…
And people back off takin offense
Cos I said factual things from the heart..
Some think i shouldn’t write like that,
Shouldn’t post shit
To them it’s unlike me
However I wanna write somethin real…
I’m ok makin my readers uncomfortable…
I want them to use their critical thinkin…
I usually write love poetry and stuff
Now I’m more into serious topics
About what goes on with the world…
I wanna be the voice for black people
I know what’s goin on..I observe how we are
And who we are, I can see we’re lost
And have a lot of mental illnesses that we don’t
Discuss within our community…I witnessed how we’ve been
Treated by white power structures, I may not experienced a lot
I know how white supremacy works in our society and how the system
Abuses our brains so much to the point that we got to used to it….it’s
Never a good thing at all…why do we have so much self hate? Why is there
So much colorism?
I enjoy writin pieces about it cos I wanna help my people
Even if some turn the other cheek and not listenin to what I gotta say….
It gets lonely sometimes when I try to place facts in stanzas for the people who
Look like me and they back away laughin sayin this and that…
As I said before
Nobody wants to hear the truth
Like someone would force me to put that poem down…
In the comfort zone of hurt feelings…
I remember I got upset by that…
I felt like i ain’t allowed to use my voice for the greater good
Cos I got white friends
I got white people helpin me
But I’m not allowed to expose white supremacy on the table
Considerin me I’m a racist sayin black people can be racist, too
The fact is black race doesn’t have constructed power…
We got power of fuck around and find out
We got the power to shut all the bull shit down
Right?
I know that…
Nobody wants to hear it….
Nobody wants to listen….
Especially nobody wants to read either…
