Living in BLACK skin regardless if you're light-skinned , dark- skinned, or even a portion of black in you. You have to learn how to survive. You have to deal with being accused and arrested for reasons that are sometimes unexplained. Being Black in America or Canada you have to deal with the same crap justification on different levels.
I wrote this poem watching an episode of "A Different World" because I could not stand to see it all over again. I have many male friends who tell me about their stories and I can't do a thing about it . Control of what occurs over this situation has to start somewhere.
To make it clear I want you to check out my Instagram (gloriatp5) the scene that inspired me to create this poem.
