A poem authenticating blacksBlack birdI don’t wanna be called so anymoreI know I’m black but just call me a birdI’ll fly with my broken wingsAnd I’ll not only sing into the deep of the nightI’m done with the pain and lonelinessThe world will learn to hold meSoon enough, you’ll seeAnd I’ll learn to love and careand I’ll transcend beyond these thresholdsI’ll wear strength and wield courageI’ll put on insane courage andan embarrassing braveryAnd then I’ll be known as aBRAVE BIRD
