iWrite

3/3 was international writers day — I am audaciously honoring mySelf amongst the greats tyvm if I have written you a reading a course curriculum helped with a grant or an essay for college done your homework written you a job earning resume/cv revised texts to your ex copywrited tweets for you if Ive written songs youve stolen or captions youve posted if Ive contextualized your reality n radicalized you by writing articles to Change your worldview if Ive Taught your child to read n write if my Self documented Lived experiences have inspired your Life n your degrees n if I got you traction for treating me like charity while I continue to resist n remove my work from institutions n academies if my intentional destruction of grammar makes you question my intelligence if the Spirits pushing my pen ever moved you too

youre welcome n I would do it again 

its Been a great honor as much as its hurt to stand alone to maintain my poetic integrity 

I am barely a generation or so removed from illiteracy 

maybe someday I will have the capacity n the means to share our stories the right way 

maybe someday we will See the kinda compensation we deserve for witnessing n documenting n suffering for the Truth 

bc this Path chooses you 

rn I am letting the book(s) write me 

to Be the indelible poetry, Living 

I bow over the page daily in gratitude to the writers who made this Life possible for me 

n to my Mother who gave me n so many others the keys 

thank you ✍🏽
