Ask Us/Me!

Georgette Littlejohn

What is it about my skin

That doesn’t allow you to want to come into my heart and truly become a friend

If you don’t understand the complexity of

Why my skin has a darker hue and

Why you shouldn’t be afraid when you see a few of us walk in…

Ask Us/Me

What is it about my hair

I’m glad you’re curious

Cuz it’s so luxurious

But let me make it clear

It’s not cool to stare and then you dare

To ask, can I touch it

It’s not the ask that cause concern

It’s when you alone

Take it upon yourself

To go all Al Capone

And put your hand in my hair without a care

Trust me, we want you to ask what you don’t understand

But let’s remember the golden rule

Ask equals response

Please don’t take it upon

Yourself to respond and run your fingers through my hair without a care

It makes me cringe

This is my crown

And I know it confuses you

That it can be long today and short tomorrow

I know it keeps you baffled

But please, please, be tactful

And wait for me to say it’s okay

Before you just touch away

This life brings many twists and turns

Searching for where we truly belong

Fighting for acceptance sometimes by our own family and friends

And then fighting in a world that refuses to embrace us just based on our skin

I won’t apologize for the melanin

Which protects my skin

But I will continue to be the light

To shine from within

Standing on God’s command to love my enemies and friends

You chose today which one you want to be

Please don’t smile in my face

But walk away in disgrace because

I hurt like you hurt

I bleed like you bleed

So, it’s no need to pretend

That you want to befriend me

When you haven’t truly got to know me

Again, ask us/me

But in the end, I still call you friend

Because God commands that of me

But don’t be surprised that if down in your family tree you have family that looks like me

Honestly, we are all one race

Human that is

Trying to find our space

In this thing called life

That moves at a face pace

Praying to leave a trace

So, our loved ones will remember our face when we leave this place

So do us a favor

As we continue to give you grace and respect you as a human race not based on the color of your skin

But who you are as a person within

If you don’t know but truly want to

Ask your questions

Then give us grace and space to answer

Leaving a trace of ourselves

So, you can face

Us as a human race!
