Black History Month what does that truly really mean

Is it the only month blacks are truly really seen

————

No, it’s just the month that we are prouder

The time that you can hear our voice

The months that we are louder 

The month you have to hear our hurt

The month where black lives matter . 

Raindrop

The factor of nature that sustains life

Superiority

A factor a feeling

That has a distorted me

Authority 

The feeling of power over majority

Society

We follow the footsteps of those maniacally

But who will break this cycle

Follow the road thats idle

Begin the wave from tidal

Cause if they go than I go

But if they don’t than i will

The only constant is change

And only change is constant

So I constantly change

But still remain, so often

I feel slightly deranged and insane

So lost in

A world but never found

I’m heard but there’s no sound 

I’m free but i’m still bound

I breathe but I still drowned

I fly but touch the ground

Restriction

I learned to speak and to articulate 

Listen to me speak clearly as I enunciate

Communicate 

the differences of those they clearly demonstrate

They stem from hate

Trying to keep us apart, to accommodate

For the races that think their better that think they dominate

Superiority a factor to me that simply agitates

There’s no difference between me and you don’t differentiate

Judging us from whom which we strongly associate

Why do I beg you for equality I don’t negotiate

Illustrate 

A world of equality that simply captivates

Almost impossible for one solely to try an fabricate 

Elaborate

On all of the ideas they truly fascinate
