Survival


All I need is to survive Survive being black And to survive being a woman. Because they tell me I am suspect I am black before human I am a satistic waiting to be added on to this years list of deaths All I need is to survive All I need is to survive Because everyday is a new battle Fighting for my life and Fighting Just to have one Because i am black I am woman I am still surviving.
