about

I am trying to figure out how to get all of the stuff out of my head

This is an attempt at that, something I wrote on Juneteenth this year.

lyrics

My head is spinning
This is just the beginning
I'm fighting for my voice
I've had enough with shrinking

I told myself
Be small
Sit tall
Be quiet
Better than them all

They said you're not enough
Black skin with hair so tough

And what I've found
Is that my worth is all
my own
my own

My head's still spinning
How are you just beginning
To hear our cries
But we hold the joy in living

So I tell myself
Play tall
Stay strong
Be louder
Bigger than them all

I say I'm just enough
Black skin with hair so tough

And what I've found
Is that my worth is all
my own
my own
