I wake up every morning wishing I didn't go through my
day wondering how I did it. Look around to see
everybody's life is better than mine. I cover my pain
with fake smiles and happiness. I feel their's really
no one around to talk to. I even contemplated on
suicide, no longer wanting to live. People say they
know what I'm going through but they have no idea.
Come home to people who I thought who cared the most,
but they don't even see my pain. They hear my cries
but never ask or come to see why. My music covers my
pain but never stops the crying or my depression. But
I learned to cure my own pain on a piece of paper but
that cures my pain until I no longer want to write.
Then the pain comes rushing back like a flash of
lightning. But I realize my pain began when I was born
into this world, and the only way my pain will go away is
when I leave this earth... Until then I'm just gonna
deal with it because PAIN IS PART OF LIFE.

Im the black woman you picked up

At the supermarket

Im the black woman you called

Every night talking for hours

Im the black woman who accepted

The invitations to dinner

Im the black woman who let

You get close to her heart

Im the black women that said

Wait lets take it slow

Then I was the black women

Who you married

I was the black woman who

Cooked your food every night

I was the black woman who

You came home to make love to

Im the black woman who carried

Our child for nine months

I was the black woman who

You came home to beat on

I was the black woman who bailed

Your **** out of jail

I was the black woman who

You gave an STD to

I was the black woman who

Almost killed your ****

I was the black woman who

Did 2 ½ years

Im the black woman who came

Out and was still on top of her game

Im a black woman who is proud to be a

                                                               BLACK WOMAN!!!
