To you the strong black women out here in Asia
Black woman
you have travelled so far
trotted through disappointments
bled through heart breaks
journeyed through
racism
rejection
yet your beauty still shines
like a million peeping stars
Black woman
dry your tears
you have been liberated
freed from your fears
this world promise's nothing
but to give of yourself
and receive nothing in return
your strength is an ever flowing fountain
your kindness
surely not weakness
and here's to say
I am proud to be your friend
