Speak up: Only your words can save you

Brown girls must learn to save themselves

The form words before her creation.

Yet,  she has been socialized into silence.

Finding words that have developed in their bellies and collect in her throat.

If unaware she breath in fear

while carrying worry on she backs.

 

“Chile, speak up!”

Those are the word spraying from my mothers lips!

“believe in your heart and trust with your mind. . .

Deliver the divinity which has been entrusted with you in mind . . .

Collect your power in your feet and hands, speak up!  . . .

Boldly and confidently stand in creators plans. . .

Your words are your work. . .

Only your words can save you and grant you peace.”

Stand straight and speak up!
