▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Here are the poems submitted by our UrbanGyals during the poetry slam Friday night.
The theme chosen was: Happiness ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Me, My Melanin, and I.
She asks me, "how would you describe happiness?"
I only replied, " my skin, my beauty, and my hair's nappiness,"
These things makes me feel happy within
My skin, my beautiful melanin.

Happiness So precious and rare You can look into one's eyes And see if it's there
Masks Maybe it's a façade The only person who may really know Is the Almighty God

I'm Happy
When I open my eyes and see the sky, I'm Happy. Stretching to feel the movement of my limbs, I'm Happy. Seeing the sun shine and the birds sing, Im Happy Looking at the beautiful faces of my family, I'm Happy Walking into the work place, with a smile on my face, I'm Happy I may not have everything I want, but I have everything I need. Sometimes I'm down and sometimes I'm weary But most of all, I'm Happy. I just lost my cousin yesterday, and God himself too her away. Yet, I still have a smile on my face, because I'm Happy. Happiness is in my DNA, Happiness is who I am everyday. Happiness is me. Happiness is what I believe. "I'm happy world, I'm happy."

You really tried it.
You really tried to take my glow away.
You really tried to wipe the smile off my face.
You really tried to take every single thing that wouldn't make me tear up this fucking place 😭
You tried it.
But you failed 🤷🏾♀
I'm still happy, and I will prevail, I believe in myself, and my confidence is higher than yo bills. So, you cant make me go through shit that I already went through bitch.
