Poem: Pocket Full of Sass: A Mental Health Anthem (Audio Book: Black History Month)

 

Pocket Full of Sass: A Mental Health Anthem by Ruben White

When they throw shade like it's a sunny day,

Thinking your sparkle will fade away, I'll strut like a peacock, feathers on display,

For my mind's a wild dance, come what may.

I will never be the less thing. But the best thing since the invention of the pocket.

With their whispers like shadows, trying to dim my light,

I'll shine like a disco ball, reflecting pure delight,

My thoughts are a carnival, a colorful sight,

So step back, my friend, you're not ready for this flight.

I will never be the less thing. But the best thing since the invention of the pocket.

Oh, they think I'm a puzzle, all jumbled and bent,

But I'm a masterpiece, darling, a work of intent, Like a fine bottle of wine, I'm perfectly spent,

So sip on my wisdom, it's time to relent. I will never be the less thing. But the best thing since the invention of the pocket.

They try to toss daggers, sharp words like a knife,

But I'm a rubber band, stretching back to

With laughter as armor, through chaos and strife,

I'll dance through the storm, oh what a delight!

I will never be the less thing. But the best thing since the invention of the pocket.

So here's to the warriors, the quirky and bold, With hearts full of stories, and spirits of gold,

We're not just surviving; we're breaking the mold,

With humor as our shield, watch our legends unfold!

I will never be the less thing. But the best thing since the invention of the pocket.
