Black child, Yours, A life of Struggle

CATEGORY

Views: 247

black child, reaching for your dreams 

your arms stretched out 

so close it seems 

 all you wanted is within reach 

the taste of success no longer foreign 

your finger tips stretched out 

without a doubt 

your pinnacle  of  success is within reach 

every inch of your body 

aching 

itching 

as you grasp towards your wonder

 

those who witness your stride 

witness your struggle

command you for your strength 

they witness barriers being re-stacked against you 

they witness your spirit crumble 

and see your will power shine through 

you rise, dust your yourself 

traverse those walls 

and reach again 

fight to rise to your horizon 

and gaze at your destiny 

chasing your success is an endless pursuit 

a continuous act of breaking barriers 

 

as you fight, surviving heartache 

your spirit constantly tested, to its breaking point

those who hold the keys 

shall never let you find peace 

even when you find success 

never let your guard down and feel at ease 

for they sharpen their claws 

ready to manipulate your flaws 

till the destiny you've reached 

crumbles under their might

leaving you shattered 

black child reaching for your dreams 

yours is a life of struggle, heartache and breaking barriers  

never lose your fighting spirit 

you are a born warrior 

now rise and conquer

Thank you! this spoke directly to me as I feel was your intention. No one shall hold my keys for I am not caged. Although at times I feel the constraint, I know that I am so much more than this simple life. Im a complex being on the rise.
