#napowrimo Day 19 - “Drop It!”

Poetry
Written By Farah Lawal Harris

Drop it!

As if your life and knees and ass

depended on it

because they do.


Drop it!

Life is too heavy already

without you lettin’ it set up shop

and squat on your soul.


Drop it!

Shake it!

Clap it!

Do what you gotta do

because they gonna label you anyway!

Might as well have fun,

might as well let go.

Baby, you best let go.
