I SEE YOU
I see you, queen...
Trying to hold it together, while life keep applying pressure.
Rent due. Kids fed. Heart broke. Eyes red.
Still showing up like you ain't carrying a whole generation on your shoulders.
I see you.
See, everybody love the strength, but don't nobody ask about the weight.
Don't nobody ask how many nights you done cried in silence, then woke up smiling like everything alright.
I see you.
I see the texts you never sent. The love you gave. The time you spent.
The men who took, but never poured. Left you fighting wars you never signed up for.
Yet there you stand.
Still beautiful. Still breathing. Still believing.
That's Black woman magic.
That's praying through the pain. Dancing in the rain. Losing your mind... but somehow staying sane.
And baby...
If nobody told you today—
The world is standing because women like you refuse to fall.
I see you.
