Black Girl on the Front Row!

“Worthy…”

 

Pause.

 

You are worthy

of    the     space

for

one

extra

breath.

 

One … extra … thought….

 

To lean

against the wall

of

deeper understanding.

 

To decipher

that which helps.

To discard that

which brings back

nought.

 

You are worthy

of the pursuit.

 

To stand still

and

be tagged by change.

 

To acknowledge that

you live

within its range.

 

To be sure,

that you are fully-fledged…

… and, oh,

so special.

 

Precious,

beyond a shadow.

 

Ready.

 

You’re a living wonder.

 

Nothing formed against you,

can ever stop

your flow.

“Whole In My Heart…”

 

The heart.

It tears.

It breaks.

It recovers.

It beats stronger.

.. Because it is a brave,

emotional muscle.
