Black Eye (R) Word
I made this for (The R Word is a Documentary that shows People with disability's dealing with the R Word) but I didn't use this poem I used another.
Don’t Rush Greatness,
greatness
doesn’t come in one day
greatness is in the work you play in my gym
(The Lords Gym)
and then he explained
don't waste time worrying about the person you wont be,
you will be the person
I sent you down to be, to make them all free,
write a dream and see a podium under your feet
but, you gotta wait and see sometimes you just gotta breath
(and breath)
It’s not what you show
(the finished product)
no
Its the breeze to the project,
how you process, greatness is what you don’t show!!!
greatness is how many times
you get knocked down, stressed out
but, you know (you know)
your story must be told,
even if people see you as a ghost a
(R) Word Disability (F) Word
but, you believe God is upward,
seeing your pain wont go un'named.
your a name that is already unblamingly great,
your not a fake like those bully's who try to take what makes you great,
greatness is not what you take
greatness is the many days you grid and grinded through the bad times
thinking you’ll never be knighted
where you wanted all those years you fought
thought it was for nothing
but, that’s the greatness about you,
you never stop trying.
your brave like a Lion you might be a breed of a disability but, your a poet speak to them, let them see what your thinking
I say, never ever dying but, reality I am, always forever dying inside
because,
on one side the bully's
what they say really feel like they driving what confidence I gain
in my own grave, when I die but,god I don't wanna die yet so,
everyday I'm praying to you lord on my knees to help me to gain the words what I believe, what I gotta say
theirs always a day for the bad to go away
and the crap your pushing through will fly like how a butterfly fly away,
and that's the day when people see a flightless bird like me
celebrate we have wings
beautiful ones you didn't see
I just wanna be me
but, you hit me with the right
that symbolize a black eye,
every time you say the
(R) Word
in front of me I wanna scream
but I express my anger in my writing
no one sees
because, I'm a so called disability
when I put my game face on they laugh and leave but,
my story must be told,
I can not fold
you cant hold This disability boy down,
my greatness is gonna be
seen and told for millions to
read.
