A Black Boy's Postcard to the Past
Goodbye to the black boy who was a punching bag,
and told not to cry; he was left with scars that are now triggers.
Goodbye to the days of having no food to eat,
and the sleepless nights of hearing the monster roar in his belly.

Trapped in the Abyss
There is a state of shock with each message,
moment, and movement.
It leaves you in a fetal position not wanting
to eat, sleep, or fight anymore.

Emotions I Have Not Outgrown as a Black Man
One day I woke up as a scrawny teenage boy with acne going through puberty,
and the next day I was suddenly the man of the house.
I was forced to be an adult, way before I ever needed those responsibilities.
