It's been a long yr

a troublesome yr

a <3 breaking yr.

This yr

Barack left us

Trump came in 

ppl screamed 

& Jerusalem cried.

Women stood up,

men stepped down

and Uncle Chika died.

It's been a yr

of debate 

protests

and bigotry

yet somehow it has been 

a yr of victory.

I climbed a beautiful tree

Alabama reminded me i'm free

and dad....

I kept my dignity.

It's been a yr of letting go

and embracing vulnerability.

A yr of lessons learned

laughter 

ingenuity 

and legitimacy

and for tht

2k17,

I can't thank u enough.

Lol I mean it

rlly.
