Biscuit Poetry

From Rehearsals, backstage laughing, to stepping on stage and making magic. It was a phenomenal experience to be a part of the Symphonic Beats: Celebrating Women in Hip Hop event. I remember when I was first asked to be a part of this by DC. I felt so honored to have my poetry heard and loved enough to want to hear it again in a new capacity. I said yes, not knowing how my own experiences could deliver for an event like this, but when the pen dropped, the mic did too. I am especially grateful to have been partnered with EgypTrinity and create this piece together. We started with “well I dont know” and ended with a powerful piece that highlights unity in a world where we now see so much divisiveness. That was our piece alone. The coordination it took to create and build an event like this took talent, collaboration, and trust. I am so grateful to be apart of the Kalamazoo Community. It ain’t just a handful of talent here, it’s fruitful.

Thank you to all who made this event happen!

Title: Jeffrey

I remember him most on the days I needed celebration
On the days I see frowns from people who deserve smiles
The days I tell someone they’re “beautiful,”
“Wonderful,”
“Thank you,
You’re so sweet”
“I like your smile”
I remember him most when I needed to hear “Great Job”
When I feel so close to the ground
waiting to be swept off my feet
reminded of the flowers that grow from out of underneath
I remember him most when I carve out pain from my sleeves
When I stand in front of an audience
Spilling pain from my teeth
Stringing together broken hearts with the melodies of
“You’re not alone”
“that’s real”
“It will be okay”
I remember him most when I ask myself
“why am I still here”
“What is my purpose here”
Because he told me I deserve to be.
He told me how much I mattered
He removed my function out of my belonging simply by being him.
I remember him most
When I am sitting at my desk
Taking a breath
Asking myself
“What version of me will I be today”
And every single time,
I hear him say,
“The Best”

Look out for those drops in the future!
