It was terrifying- and considering I was 16 at the time, I still feel like I carry that grief from that time, like the realisation that this will be a life long struggle. Also, share it!! For me it’s nice being able to re read my poem that I did write 4 years ago now but I think it’s equally powerful to write and share reflective poetry.
I have a poem that I wrote for 2020 but I didn't write it in 2020 so I always felt weird about sharing it...I might share it now tho because I think it's important to still talk about that time (especially since it was only 4 years ago)
2020 was a terrifying time to be Black ngl.
To be anyone really, but especially to be Black.
