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 projectionsPardon 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!Voting is open!

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
