Affirmation

I am change,
Waiting to be made
In a world where hate rules;
I am peace
Still winds of calm
Spreading
Till life, on every tongue
Finds itself palatable.
I am Indelible,
Like heavy clouds on a rainy day
Palpable,
I'll be remembered
For the change I've made.
I am life
Waiting to explode; with hopes,
I'll someday achieve.
Dying to exhale
And be inhaled by the conscious mind of me and yes you.
And indeed I will,
Achieve;
The grand theorems
Of my beautiful mind
Frail cocoons of untired ideas
My resolve,
is nothing like you've seen before.
For I am destiny
Certain I will attain.
Refusing to be derailed
By social inoculation
And tired theories
Of empty classes
Garnished by the minds of
Baseless classists
And the
Loose ideologies of fascist faces;
the lost race of running racists.
For I am;
No limits, no boundaries
And in simple eloquence
A life that will be lived.
My life refuses to be played out,
And my story rejects being sung
In chords designed by another.
So my melanin speaks;
See me and hear me
No need to fear me.
