Black with purpose

Stripped of identity and labeled as BLACK
Imagine living life like that 
And your first thought is true.
However,
You look at me and you're confused 
Because you don't see …
    the shame and blame 
     I was supposed to claim 
No
What you see 
    is the process of me
The creation
    that I'm supposed to be 
Though claim and I did 
And like others I hid 
the unknown true self 
from all else
because I couldn't label it.
And now it comes to this;
Taking knowledge as a chisel 
and passion as a mallet -
I work to break through the layers that were pressed and blessed upon me 
To break through and breakdown the lessons and teachings that were once thought ALL to be 
To show you something more than you ever thought you would see ...
evolving
changing 
learning 
growing 
Living Purposefully
