With Indefatigable Necessity

Novuh Reed

Poetic is my melanin These pages have no form No fashion No aesthetics could please With no friend left to trust All I can bear to grasp close is pen My paper knows the ugliest parts Each mood Each emotion No use in trying to pretend I'll never fit comfortably in I'm too broken to meet their notions She knows my soul I give her my voice from these pages Thickened with deep words Intelligent, they've said Books unbound of my skin From my wit I'll sow these seeds A vast field of reeds I'd hope to reap Just a moment more If only to speak
