Comment from Bill Schott
This poem, Disclosure, tells the readers a couple of things that are either felt or implied. Being black is a fact that is always real, and there is an automatic list of situations where it is felt that this fact will be duly or unduly important. Today, I hope it is more of what is better.

That's right, we are what we've been created to be, possibly moulded a little, but certainly not anyone else, now that I've captured God made me, and is happy with what He made, who am I to contradict Him? Beautifully written my friend, you are beautiful, blessings Roy

Very unique verse Tea. Your use of the colored fonts helps the reader to distinguish between the different points... the statement and the response. Well done on this piece.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
I am not sure if this is a mood that is black here as depression can destroy our self-esteem. Or maybe this is skin that is black and this is something we can never change, whatever we are born with, we need to make the most of it as life is precious. We should always celebrate how we look every time we look in the mirror and see who we are. No one can see what is inside our hearts unless we let them in to see the light, love Dolly x x x

Comment from Darlene BoClair
You are whom you write you are. I feel your confidence and love in your written description in whom you see in the mirror.
I like learning the
definition of aborning
( being born) always black).

Comment from Jesse James Doty
I like the sentiment of this poem but I don't know what aborning means. Would you please clarify so that I can understand the full meaning of this provocative poem?
I understand that no matter what you wake up Black and no matter the circumstances you remain Black.
This speaks to the essence of how it feels to be of a different color from the one that is prevalent in our society.

Comment from Marilyn Hamilton
This was so powerful. The repetitive line and the change in text colors adds to the strength of the verse. Melanin can't be given back. LOVE THAT LINE! Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Michael Ludwinder
The way you start each line with "I'm always Black" really drives home your pride. The lines "Melanin can't be given back" and "My mirror gives me fair warning" are powerful. Your words make me think. And that's a gift. Keep sharing these thoughts!
