FREE VERSE Poem: Heart So Pure, by Shadeara Hall

Her heart was so pure
she even loved the devil
As a little girl
she was a fucking rebel
Stab after stab
She was served injustice and belittled
Little did they know
She was protected by the cosmos
Karma is a real thing
It’s something like a figure-8
You see, what energy you give out
Is what energy you will get back
So many wonder how she’s still standing
How she’s still managing
Why didn’t she fall?
That’s because she’s built like a mother-fucking brick wall
She will never fall
She only knows how to stand up tall
Who knew somebody so small could be so strong
Her heart was so pure
That after all the bullshit
She still wished the best life for y’all
All y’all were doing was praying on her downfall
