I stand with you in your fight
I'm there with you every night
Faithful, True, Loving & Strong
Whether you're right or you're wrong

Although you think you are alone
My essence is with you when you're gone
Sometimes I'm obvious, sometimes I'm not
But standing with you is my only plot

Loving you with all my might
Not noticed as much as I'd like
Supporting you so effortlessly
Your Black Woman....why don't you see me?

Thanks for sharing. I love the concept but feel that you could get more out of this piece with a little more effort on your part. Dig deep inside of your imagination to sharpen the skills required to highlight your talent. Discipline yourself to master things like spelling. Discover ways of imparting your message without the overuse of " I" or "my" or any reference to yourself the writer. Shadowbox your way into the heart of the reader, respecting them enough to study. Keep at it, I'm rooting for you!

I enjoyed the content of this piece, although I wish you had written more, for this particular poem seems as if you left out some of the things you wanted to say for the sake of the rhyme scheme. Particularly in this stanza I noticesd that there seemed to be a rushed or constricted feeling:

Although you think you are alone
My essence is with you when you're gone
Sometimes I'm obvious, sometimes I'm not
But standing with you is my only plot

Im looking to read more from you definitely.
