Word Warrior

by Yolanda Shabazz

		Word Warrior
			Making me know
		About things I sometimes
			Choose to forego
			

		Birth to Death
			And whatever’s in between
		Don’t always see
			Can’t escape what you mean.
			

		Acting Out 
			Or turning a phrase
		You make your point
			In unlimited ways. 
			

		Words So Sweet
			Take me back to the beginning
		The same cut like a knife
			When you relate struggle with no ending.
				

		Hard as a Rock
			Sensitivity you can’t hide
		For this artistic condition
			You meticulously guide.
