I'VE ANTICIPATED THIS MOMENT OVER AND OVER IN MY MIND ... KNOWING I WOULD GET MY CHANCE, IN DUE TIME ...
A CHANCE TO TELL YOU MY BLACKNESS IS NOT TOTALLY WHAT I AM, BUT A MERE DESCRIPTION OF THE COLOR OF MY SKIN PAY ATTENTION ... THERE'S MORE TO THIS JAM.
I AM NOT JUST A BLACK WOMAN NEITHER AM I A GIRL, BUT I AM A BEAUTIFUL, ARTICULATE, WISE WOMAN OF COLOR PLEASE PAY ATTENTION AND DON'T DISCOUNT MY WORDS THIS HELPS TO BUILD ME AND YOU, MY SISTA'S AND BROTHA'S
I AM A DOCTOR, A LAWYER, AN AUTHOR, A SINGER ... I AM WHATEVER I AIM TO BE ... NOT SOLEY DEPENDENT UPON MY COLOR, YOU SEE ...
MY BLACKNESS SATURATES ME, ESPECIALLY IN THE MOMENT OF DEFEAT WHEN MY ADVESARIES FEEL THEY'VE CONQUERED ME, WITHOUT CHECKING MY PREVIOUS FEATS.
MY BLACKNESS KEEPS ME INSPIRED DUE TO THE ONES TRYING TO KEEP ME DOWN AND BECAUSE OF THIS, I AM MORE THAN MY BLACKNESS I'M WHATEVER I CHOOSE TO BE, AS I SEARCH FOR MY CROWN.
Siebra, I found your poem INSPIRING! STRONG! AND ENCOURAGING! Thanks for sharing...

p.s.
the only negative I see in the poem is (how a Goddess needs a crown) may lead one to believe your nature self needs any improvements.(The meanings of your name has all of this covered).(smile)
