When They See US By Taylor Briggs It’s always been about who we “are” right? Unworthy Useless Inferior Yet they’ve felt the need to further oppress us since they saw us Brought us to a foreign land because they knew we were unbeatable on our land Beat us to break our soul because they knew about our strength
Substandard and limited education because they knew our potential
Drugged us because they knew our power Criminalized us because of their own fears Yet today we’re still here Because despite their intentions and all they’ve done, we are still US Unbeatable
Taylor is a college freshman.
Soulful Strong Worthy Intelligent Superior Purposeful
Beautiful Powerful Because when they see us they see all that they never could’ve been Because when we see them, all we see is what we’ll leave behind because We See US
