Camacy Melville Poems

I am black
I am beautiful
inside and out
...

When I look in the mirror, what do I see?
A beautiful human being staring right back at me

When I move grade to grade, what has been shown?
...

Someone likes you but I cant tell you who
Because of the fact that I like him too
I found out last night
While I spoke to his girl, and tried to fight off my feelings with all my might
...

How can you say 'forgive and forget'?
When what happend will never pass away?
How can I try to forgive without really knowing what it is that happened?
How can I forget when what happened is not forgetable
...

How you do me like that?
How you hurt me like that?
How you lead me on like that?
How you make me like you like that?
...

Let me have my space
So I can breathe
You always all up on me, and that's why I look at you as a disgrace
...

What if there was never slavery?
What if I wasn't a person?
What if I was a boy?
What if I was 7 feet tall?
...

I'm in love with this boy,
but now I'm confused
Is my love for him being abused?
He says he loves me, that he really does
...

I see how you look at him
With those pretty eyes
You watch like you are committing sin
And can’t wait to be taken in for your crime
...

My tears that I have?
What are they really?
Is it tears of sadness? or relief?
The minute I heard I held back
...

One plus One is Two
I need to be with you
Two plus Two is Four
I don't want you to slip away like some people did before
...

I wish.............a lot of things
i wonder do you too?
i wish that i could be older
and ride a pony too
...

The Time has come when we can start realizing the reality that we are living in [YES]

When the oppression and underestimation that was planted within us can be extracted from our minds [WE]
...

How do I say good bye to the one's that I love, the ones I adore, the one's that I care for?
I just can't do it, uh uh, not now not ever
These are the people that I practically knew forever
I can't just leave them like that and never visit back
...

red
loving
1 single line
can you find out the answer to this mystery of mine
...

The Best Poem Of Camacy Melville

Beauty, Inside And Out

I am black
I am beautiful
inside and out

I am black
I am beautiful
my voice is medium toned, I try not to shout

I am black
I am beautiful
I don't let anyone put me down

I am black
I am beautiful
Though sometimes I may act as a clown

I am black
I am beautiful
I'm filled with such pride

I am black
I am beautiful
I'll make such a wonderful bride

Black and Beauty
that describes the outside of me

Nice or mean, you have to decide
To me and most people I am nice inside

I am beautiful, I am black
I am black, I am beautiful
