Being black means being proud
To stand and say what you feel out loud
When people's words strip your dignity
Have no fear
You have your own mind
Words can be so full of hate
We know now there is no time to wait

At times
I feel so alone
But just where can I call my home?
People fight for pride alone
But one question stands
Where does it end?

When love wins through?
Hope that is not a dream!
Others like me will want to stand proud and free

« return.
