No I'm Not Broken

Even though my words

carry pain and heartbreak,

I am not broken.


Even though my sisters

and brothers are harmed,

I am not broken.


Even though my queer

siblings are abandoned,

I am not broken.


Even though the world

keeps on hating my existence,

I am not broken.


I owe it to my black

forefathers and foremothers.

I owe it to my queer

freedom fighters.


Did you know that

black and queer have

the same number of

letters?


Then it can be no

accident that I turned

out to both of these

powerful identities.


No I am not broken.

I can't be. Seeing my

people prosper will

always keep me alive.
