“but bein alive & bein a woman & bein colored is a metaphysical dilemma/ i havent conquered yet/ do you see the point my spirit is too ancient to understand the separation of soul & gender/ my love is too delicate to have thrown back on my face my love is too delicate to have thrown back on my face my love is too beautiful to have thrown back on my face my love is too sanctified to have thrown back on my face my love is too magic to have thrown back on my face my love is too saturday nite to have thrown back on my face my love is too complicated to have thrown back on my face my love is too music to have thrown back on my face” - an excerpt from FOR COLORED GIRLS WHO HAVE CONSIDERED SUICIDE/WHEN THE RAINBOW IS ENUF written by Ntozake Shange (1976) ♥️ 🧡 💛 💚 💙 Check the linktree in my IG bio for a link to YT video of the 1982 film adaptation starring Alfre Woodard, Sarita Allen, Lynn Whitfield, Carol L.
