What do I do,  

as a black woman, 

when they get control?   

When the consequences 

don't matter anymore? 

When I watch my people 

get bullied, 

Let freedom ring

a ring we won't get to hear

the ringing of silence that won't come

the world is becoming loud.

soon will start the riots

the protests, the fights,

the deaths.

Red:

The color of blood

The color of the hearts that are going to be ripped out

ripped out and thrown aside.

Red,

the color this country became

as of... yesterday?

White:

You hide from my,

Lowest moments.

Running to make it on time to my highest.

you watch me as I smile,

and fall as it gets closer for sleep.

your solar opposite

You know what I was robbed of

who I don't get to be anymore

yet you,

you sit there and flaunt it.

I felt myself losing.

Leave me.

I don't want to see you

and talk to you and 

Powder

grey powder blows into my eyes

my face

I cant breathe

I run through the house 

Begging everyone to give me air

They stare

They laugh

I fall

It's going dark

and dark
