We Will Grow

Tears drop from my eyes as I visualize the pain and the hard times which my people have and still are experiencing in their lives.I acknowledge this and realize I have to project nothing but strength.

I walk away from any situation that may weaken my spirit.

I spit at those who try to damage my image.
I am Black and woman.
I am the pro-creator of this society;
keeping my voice at a heard level never leaving out those who need my help.
I will help my people if I am able.


I will take my brothers and sisters up the mountain and let them see the world;

let my brothers and sisters feel and believe we are on top of all things.

Those tears that drop from my eyes are a sign of happiness.

They represent the joy I feel in knowing my people have came this far.

So I cry when I see a Black lawyer, doctor, scientist, journalist, teacher and student.

For we have come a long journey shackled at the feet.
For we have broken barriers and released those bad stereotypical names.
We will continue to grow for those who doubt us;
we will flourish.
