Kraze

My heart cracked

in a million pieces

but I glued it back again

with the power of love

Continuous rape 

could have born hate

but how could I disavow

every How you iz gurl

second line

Skull and Bones

Whatchya Say?

Mama hug

set of lovin' arms

and sweet potato pie

I ever ate?

Someone said Black men don't rape

but ask my sister survivors and it'll negate

that myth with a quickness

Do you know how it feels

to live in utter powerlessness?

This is graphic 

trigger warning

what's ahead is painful

Shameful

Stop now if you can't 

take the pain

men's gain

and my poor heart's loss

my heart cracked

kraze'

like I was the one on the cross

flat on my back

stiff then slack

my struggling 

my tears my no's

didn't mean jack

womanhood under attack

eight separate cracks

to be precise 

This is the life

they've handed us

manhandled they outman us

with brute strength

but it's women who

make the glue of love
