The Color Queen

My name is Aashé

Queen is my middle name

My last name does matter, it is subject to change

I rule with my paint brush and the world is my canvas

I was born to Reign

I am an answer to the prayers of my ancestors who cried and bled for me

I PAINt

I paint the pain of my ancestors and cry tears that are not mine

I ReIgN

I cry because my crown was stolen and I am fighting to win it back

I cry because this world is broken and I need more paint to make it better

I CAN'T BREATH

The trees from the amazonian forest are going missing

I CAN'T SEE

The government does not tell me all that I need to know

I MATTER

but my fellow citizens don't believe me when I tell them I am a Queen

I LOVE

my heart is made of Gold, when it melts, the value remains

I BELIEVE

one day I will paint this world to be the most beautiful canvas

I HEAL

my mother, myself, and my daughter that will come after me

My monarchy will continue but, there will be no more tears
