Poet: Fazayah Augusta
I am light as a feather and free as forever
I am the thread that holds you to the ground.
Grounded in reasoning but high as I want to be, high as I need to see.
See,
it’s above me now
And we not backing down
Our glow too bright for you
and there’s absolutely nothing we can do
For you, you see our lights too true
Solar connect too strong and our family lineage too long
The way yall move, upside down
shits too wrong
I worry bout yall but long for my talls
My victory
my loves
my copper colored kin
Hair shaped like DNA so all we do is win
I am light as a feather and free as forever
I am the thread that holds you to the ground.
Grounded in reasoning but high as I want to be, high as I need to see.
See,
it’s above me now
