SHE

is worth so much more than this.
we all are her

these are the moments that i learn how to be grown

watch my tongue

watch your actions

i see you Black.

don't mistake my silence for ignorance

i watch predators

wait for them to slip

too busy to worry about a metaphor

i see you Black.

me in all my woman-ness
appreciate the chance

to work on my backhand

[ed note: this is exactly what you think it is. be careful]
