I am still talking
Thank you for not silencing me
Thank you for listening to my heartbeat
And the things I do not say
Hearing my mind and the way I love to persuade
I am still talking
Thank you for your patience
For not shutting me down
For not shutting me up
For not feeling small when I shine
For accepting me and the calling I uphold
To speak when it matters
To be who I am
As a Black woman
In a world that doesn’t always show me love
You show me love
You are my king
Thank you for everything
I am still talking
And you won’t let me stop
Until I am there.
