I am now


I am now
my voice
my spirit
I am now

I’ve walked the journey
passed down unto me
through the fires
and the hate
through all things that are not me
from the middle passage
to the cotton fields
to the path carved by Jim Crow’s rule
to the fight for civil rights
I am now

I am now
my voice
my spirit
I am now

I’ve carried the burden
placed upon me
by my father
and his father’s hate
they carried the noose that bound my neighbors soul
and gave to me the choice to carry it too
but I watched
in horror at what I could become
and I cry
along with you
carrying all things that are not me
until the journey heals our divide
I too am now

I am now
my voice
my spirit
I am now
