Song of the "Strong Black Woman" (Poem)

I'm a "strong black woman"

My superpower is resilience 

Smiling when the world beats me down

Remaining stoic when life is ripped from my arms

Hugs from those who slaughter my kin for the crime of existing 

I am so tired of being "strong"

Can't I have a moment to grieve, a second to mourn all that I have lost?

Don't I deserve a minute to fall apart without judgement or disgust to show that I'm a human too?
