have we met?

have we met?

A Poem by Shirlena
"

so many things make us unique

"

do you know who I am?



genuinely
doing the do
going the go

sometime' I'm
just gone walk
an abstract beat

sometime' I'm
just gone draw
outside the lines

the Magistrate of
do my own thang
ain't nobody but GOD
gone hold me down

most times I'm
odd woman out

most times I ain't
humming along

I'm gone be the song

slap
my own drum
ain't nobody
but GOD can tell me
to be wrong

BE WRONGED CHILE'
BE WRONGED...


me?


so AMEN
and c'mon
