There are days

I feel like one,

like only—

a lonely blossom

in a briar patch

of broken promises.

But I’ve always been a thorn

in the side of injustice.

Disruptive. Talkative. A distraction.

With a passion that transcends

the confines of my consciousness—

beyond their curriculum,

beyond their standards.

I stand here,

a manifestation of love and pain,

with veins pumping revolution.

I am the strange fruit

that grew too ripe for the poplar tree.

I am a DREAM Act,

dream deferred incarnate.

I am a movement—

an amalgam of memories

America would care to forget.
