Black Boi Blu
Black boi blu weren’t you hurt like me too
Choked by your father disowned by your mother for not being the perfect shade of blue
Subjected to self-hate and left alone to defend against the cavalry
Stuck alone in your head trying to find your way up out of poverty
Dancing vigorously to that slow beat trying to feel something that’s not there
Living in a white man’s perspective of who you are dating em just to feel anything.
Shirtless
Posing shirtless for the world in your broken mirror
Wanting the world to see your progress
Seeking validation from likes and comments
Immortalized pictures for all to peruse
Another face another body in the vast stream
Of shirtless pics and thirst traps
