daraja [COMPLETED✅]

B.L.A.C.K.

1

Basking in the

Light of the sun, my skin

Attains a beautiful

Color by absorbing and

Keeping the sunlight within me.

2

Broken boys

Laughing

And singing

Cheerful songs to

Keep them alive.

3

Babies filled with joy and

Love

And laughter. The

Children will always

Keep us sane.

4

Bearing the weight of the

Labor of our people

And stones upon our

Cracked and twisted backs

Keeps us down.

5

Building families of

Love with other outsiders

And others,

Capturing hope and

Kissing the pain away.

6

Bleeding out on the streets,

Life fading

Away before me

'Cause I dared to

Keep my head up.

7

Brothers and sister with

Lost hope, their tears

Are flowing down their face.

Catch that little butterfly 'cause you have to

Keep your  head up.

8

Bringing in the new age of

Love and

Acceptance so other queer

Children of color can

Kiss themselves again.

9

Blocking out all the pain and

Lewd comments with my thick skin.

Acceptance costs nothing but they

Can't seem to realize that we all

Kiss and love the same.

10

By daring to

Live and dance in

A hurtful and

Cruel world, I

Keep my brethren hopeful.
