Outpourings

I am black by designProud of it by choiceThe workings of my mindAre echoed in my voice. . A voice seeking to be heardIts message very clearWith every spoken wordI affirm that I am here. . To shape my own destinyWith fairness to every manIn the pursuit of equalityAccording to my maker's plan. . Though many have triedPresenting many obstaclesI will not be deniedFortitude fills my testicles. . Every challenge I overcomeIs a testament to my willTo be the best I can becomeMy full potential to fullfil. . Though detractors there may beWishing that I would failI continue striding relentlesslyThis journey no man can curtail
