#black poetry
// I’m sick of seeing black artists’ work ripped off and uncredited on tumblr, so am reposting some Morgan Harper Nichols (that I saw on a “poetry” blog) with accreditation. DON’T post people’s work without crediting them, let’s have some manners.
One day I’m gonna have my own Tiny Desk episode. Till then, it’s concerts from the crib.
I wrote this one for someone special.

My shows in Pittsburgh were a success.
Quick recap video for all those who wished me good luck
Melanin Power
I love all my melanin no matter what
I love all my ‘flaws’ and imperfections
I love all my curves, the natural way my bod is shaped
I appreciate God’s skilful craft on me
Self love is greater than any other
Love to all my richly melanated sisters
BeYoutiful

Center Your Chi
Centering your life force
Becoming one with your thoughts
Centering your energy
Catering to yourself first
Releasing all forms of negativity
Especially things that cause you stress, anxiety and pain
Removing people who bring a whole heap of drama
In order to live your life with equanimity.
Breathing in peace
Resting in the calmness of He
Dancing with glee
Smiling with emesnse joy in your heart
Father Lord I thank Thee
Looking forward to your future
Even though you can’t see
What comes next in those chapters
It will definitely be
Filed with wonderful moments
New lessons to learn
Love and kindness in the midst of all the pain
You’ll succeed and become empowered
Through it all
Center Your Chi
And be.

Richly Melanated Queens
They call us “coloured” because of the complexion of our skin.
When in fact the more appropriate term is “richly melanated” as our skin tones are rich, deep and beautiful.
For all my richly melanated women, don’t worry about being overshadowed, just focus on shining bright, the way The Creator made you.
Ladies, always remember to let your light be an inspiration to others.
