I'm Saying I'm Everything

I don’t think you know who I am.
I mean I don’t think you know I know
who I am.

More magic than you dream of holding.
And of course that is why you can’t--
I am a dream you haven’t yet realised
you need.

Black. Queer. Woman.

I’m saying I’m everything
and if you have a problem with that
take it up with your god.
Mine made me as large as life
and didn’t intend for me to pretend otherwise.
