captain of me

​
I am wounded and strong
I am Black and erased
I am bailiff and inmate
I am vulnerable and guarded
I am liberator and victim
I do not own my sovereignty 
It cannot be bought or sold
I do not own 
the ground I stand on
It is not for sale
I am captain 
to my feet
Navigating the ship of me
The mast that is my mind
I direct its sails
To choreograph 
The voyage of me
Wind is fuel
When my ship
Meets the sea
Yes
Not the owner
I am the captain of me

    I am a poet, for better or for worse. It is a way in my being that, ironically has no words. It is a way in my being that finds me when I, and helps me to, forget. I am a poet, for better or for worse.
