Stand in your power
by Isaac Samuel's 2023
In Shadows cast by history's weight,
we bear the burden
silently. We wait,
labelled,
judged
a who
our only sin.
But
we rise above find strength within.
They see us
through a prism,
a lacquer night ignoring struggles
hidden
from the light.
Mental health struggles often unseen,
silenced, neglected.
In a world so mean
yet truth resides in voices so strong
and clear
in unity, our power will appear.
We are not nothing,
nor of a shade
indispensable in every role we've ever played.
In these dark times, oppressive, cold and long
will stand together.
Singing freedom song
for mental health will force a change so true,
our strength and resilience will break through
medication.
A force a system's way
to keep us quiet
to make us obey.
But we will rise above our spirits, unbound
in unity and love, our voices resound.
It's not just our skin,
but it's our hearts and mind.
The richness of culture
that ties that binds will break. These chains
that seek to hold us back
with love and unity
will stay on track.
So stand with pride, your worth embrace and know
your more than labels
in this world. Ground show
Black resilient a force to reconvene
together
we're strengthening
a future yet unseen.
