D.N.A.
I Got Power
I Got Pain
and Ambition flowing through my…
D.N.A.
My Pedigree don’t tolerate….
The front
I’m not the coolest monkey
In the jungle…
Swinging on vines
Hanging from trees
Sitting back eating bananas
Waiting to entertain
With all the
Brains
Beauty
And…
Boldness
Trying to confine me into society
And all my capability
Telling me that I’m a
Worthless
Useless
Piece of shit.
That won’t amount shit.
Your words are formed to break me!
Hands to the Heavens, no man, no weapon Formed against,
Like that whip that slapped against.
My brotha’s and sista’s backs a long time ago.
Tearing, breaking, and bruising their skin.
Shaming them.
Because you are scared of
As you say, us Monkeys
Being Free from
Your
Abusiveness
Controlment
Degradement
Embarrassment
Sins that go against our skin become blessings
The movement is a rhythm to us
Freedom is like religion to us Justice for all just ain't specific enough
Hi Everyone! my name is Jaynee Thompson. I am currently a sophomore who’s major is Education for grades K-6 with a concentration in English. A quirky fact about me is that I am a major foodie who finds it hard to decide between different dishes to eat (lol). However, the reason why I create poetry is because it helps me to speak my inner thoughts that I am unable to say out loud sometimes. On the other hand, poetry is a hobby that allows me to tell deep and emotional to stories to my readers. Lastly, from the bottom of my heart I would like to thank friends, family, and supporters for coming out and supporting me.
