I LOST
I LOST
When dad punched me and
called me blackface and stupid
as that little girl, I lost!
When my mom didn’t protect
me and joined in with the cruelty,
I lost!
When my uncle came into
my room and frightened me
me as that little girl, I lost!
When my boyfriend blackened my
Eyes and fractured my cheekbone,
I lost!
When my beloved dog,
Rocky died in my arms,
I lost!
When a car struck me
and I suffered life altering
injuries, I lost!
When I watched my loyal and
adorable puppy succumb
to cancer, I lost!
When I received the call
Your Mother is Dead,
I lost!
When I realize there isn’t any
fight left in me, I say to you
One last time, I lost!
