Poetry

Unconditional

Sensitive Black Man


Don’t love me if,
Don’t love me because,
Love me despite…

Despite my stretch marks,
Despite the fact that I can’t cook like your mother,
Despite the fact that I might not be good in bed,
Just love me…

Don’t love me because,
Because I don’t have much to offer,
Don’t love me because of my beauty
Because when that fades, your love will too.


Don’t love me if,
Because I may disappoint you,
Don’t love me if I like you back,
Because on some days I promise you I won’t,
Just love me despite because I’m far from perfect…

Despite my flaws and imperfections,
Just love me despite…

A sensitive dark-skinned black man... That is who I am. In a world where darker shades of black have connotations of a thuggish demeanor, I offer you the voice of a melanated man pouring his heart out through poetry.
