Heart of Fury

Don’t mistake my anger for shame  This coily curl crown shines with pride  in my hips, lips, and drip brainwash me to believe I am less than... it’s you who's sick...not me How does it feel? To know that your self worth comes from my degradation To know that when I straighten the spine you tried to bend it curves yours. What happens to your identity when the foundation of indignity crumbles?  Do you become small? Are you now the thing you hate? The thing you think I am. Weak.  Now you see. I am not. The whiteness of your skin only serves to blacken your heart  The blackness of mine shines like the brightest star in the sky  Full of beautiful fiery fury Ready to burn down a house built on a graveyard  Welcome to our new world Born from the ashes of your pyre  Like a phoenix rising out of the abyss Here Your silence is deafening  And my anger is strength Don’t mistake my anger for shame  This coily curl crown shines with pride   in my hips, lips, and drip brainwash me to believe I am less than... it’s you who's sick...not me How does it feel?
