hidden behind almond eyes of shame
behind a hidden smile of full lips
behind the dimples in my cheeks.
behind the curves of my body
full breast
full legs
full thighs butt
hips of a baby maker
birthing brown babies from a womb
hidden behind the dialect
fulfulde creole trini Jamaican
Swahili
the language of my brown ancestors
hidden behind
the projects that surround me
the drunks crack heads ..
jail birds high school drop outs
and teen pregnancy
mocked with the ridicule of my brown skin
NIgger
Niggah
Nigga
no matter how you spell it its all the same
no matter how different we are
we’re all the same
hidden behind the pain
the scars that once scarred my great grandmother
the same that scar me today
but its hidden
hidden in a society that never lets go
a society that makes us low
all because of the melon in my skin
