SHES SEEMS UNHAPPY

“I’m not a mad black woman

I’m frustrated with my stagnant expectations of myself

I’m not a mad black woman

I’m fed up with the lies this world continues to push on my plate of problems

I’m not a mad black woman

I’ve just had to swallow another pill of reality without the water of a break

I’m not a mad black woman

It’s just another day that I can’t wait to get through

I’m not a mad black woman

My cycle just started & your presence requires too much from me

I’m not a mad black woman

I’ve just had to take on more than I could bare

Your quick assumptions will always be wrong

Your quiet comments will continue to be heard

But please listen sir

I’ll soar through the skies of tribulations, stress, anxiety, & fly like a carefree bird

Because I’m a black woman”
