    I am Me!

    Brown skin with a little red tint
    That is Mahogany
    Not L. Browne or Boogie
    But Me —- Ms. Mahogany
    So there’s no misconceptions
    I’m not on no rap shit
    titles , judgements, ideologies
    And misbeliefs
    Just me
    Let me repeat
    I am she
    Not HER
    Me
    Shall I repeat
    Not Ri, Not Tey or Bey
    but me, Mahogany
    Started believing your lies
    and forced projections

    Pardon me I must admit
    I started drifting
    Born gifted
    Now here I am trying to escape my own mind
    No longer questioning why
    Cross my T’s and wipe my eyes
    Don’t question I
    This self love
    Is very selfish B,
    Kiss my ass adhd ptsd and odc
    And anyone else I let abuse me
    Fuck those naysayers and acronyms
    My name starts with an M
    & ends with a why
    And that’s for Mahogany
    I could never forget my reason why
    Let me repeat
    Mahogany
    The Magnificent amazing Hogany
    Out goes any other definition
    Of this queen
    That doesn’t align with this brown girl
    Mahogany
    Real sheen
    & serene
    This dream
    Means so much to me
    Love yours, always Mahogany!

    • Aww Mahogany, this poem is beautiful and you are beautiful. I can feel your power through your words and you rising above anything and anyone that’s hurt you or tried to hold you back. Keep rising. Keep being you and doing you! Thank you for sharing and thank you for being part of The Unsealed family <3 Lauren
