In the Mirror!
By Breon Powell
I am the culture of the city street.
A heartbeat echoing in every step; you hear me coming.
Carved from the strength of my ancestors
Whispers of history in my breath
I wear my skin like armor
“By any means necessary.”
From the laughter of brothers, to the wisdom of my elders
You hear me speak.
I am the dreamer, the doer, the fighter
With visions that soar beyond the sky
In the face of adversity I rise up, I persevere, I thrive.
I am the artist painting/speaking my truth
With colors of resilience and grace
In every struggle, I find my voice.
In every challenge, I find my place
I am love, I am hope, I am pride.
A legacy that cannot be erased.
In the mirror I see you; I see me; I see us.
A reflection of strength, beautifully embraced.
