Don’t tell me what to write…

 Don’t tell me what to write 


Don’t tell me what to write….

Sir…

Ma’am….

Don’t ever ever tell me what to write 

Especially to a black poet….

Why would you wanna tell a black poet 

To change a subject?

Cos he or she talks about racism way too much….

Is black power makin you feel uncomfortable?

Does it trigger you?

Cos you have no business tellin anybody 

To write somethin different 

Even if you know me or not….

Let me make a choice on my own terms….

You’re just a reader…

Another user who passes by….

Don’t tell me what to write…

You should have scroll 

You should upload the page…

You should have block my posts 

Do somethin…

Like what’s wrong with you?

 Black poets have many topics to write about…

They could write whatever the fuck they want…

You think I’m obsessed 

You think racism is the only thing I write about….

Honey, racism is in our faces all the time….

My observations are my inspiration….

I take poetic notes….

Racism is the problem 

I study the issue like homework….

What are you doin? 

Since you’re feelin my black poetry a certain way….

I do have the righteous anger

But do I hate people?

No i judge the terrorism on the planet….

Don’t ever tell me what to write…

Cos black history inspires me

Black people inspire me

Our slave mentality got me thinkin…

Got me curious…

Are you a writer?

Are you a bot?

Are you tryin to get rid of my page?

Cos I write pan Africanism…

Or you don’t like the mirror I place in front of your eyes…

Cos who told you to tell me 

I should write something else….

Do you know me?

I don’t think so….

You don’t know me 

I’m a stranger….

Why are you tellin an unknown person to branch out 

In poetry? 

Do you do that to the other writers?

I’m not alone….

Don’t tell me what to write 

Don’t you ever tell me?

My writin is my freedom 

My words are my pride…

I did somethin to you 

I made you feel…

I made you feel the need to tell me 

To change the subject….

Cos your discomfort is in your space…

But hey I could be wrong…

I don’t know….

Just don’t tell me as a black poetess 

To turn racism into somethin

Just cos you don’t like the kind of power 

I have when it comes to black people….

When it comes to lovin my people a lot 

No matter what…
