Lil' Black Book
Oh Lil' Black Book
Creations of a brown girl
Inside, white pages
Poetic expressions written in blues
With 50 Shades of Grey sadness
Read deep like the Sea of Reeds
You can feel the pain life blew her way
The author tickled in pink when it was complete
But no one read it
Until after she died with a purple heart
Now the readers' faces are painted green
As the sky above burns in orange flames
We lay her down beneath the beige sand
With Yellow Jasmine petals in recognition
Placed elegantly like silver and gold in May
She Rest In Peace in the color spectrum
