The Black Woman is tired
She’s exhausted!
She’s putting her cape down
folding it up, putting in the back
of the closet.

The Black Woman is tired
of bending over backwards
stretching all her limbs to save everyone.

The Black Woman is tired
she is exhausted of being
shelter for the world
when the world doesn’t want to
keep her warm

The Black Woman is resting
she is finally pouring into herself
she is keeping herself warm

The Black Woman is resting
realizing that not everyone
needs to be saved
after she’s been first to help every time
and last on the list
from the beginning of time

“The Black Woman is nobody’s unicorn as her magic has to be earned, not deserved. The world has taken advantage of her.” – @justdae
