For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide / When the Rainbow Is Enuf
by Ntozake Shange
I have never related to a character more than the lady in orange.
“Ever since I realized there waz someone calt a colored girl an evil woman a bitch or a nag I been tryin not to be taht & leave bitterness in sombody else’s cup…. How to avoid my own face wet wit my tears/ cuz I had convinced myself colored girls had no right to sorrow/ & I lived & loved that way & kept sorrow on the curb/ allegedly for you / but I know I did it for myself/ I cdnt stand it/ I cdnt stand being sorry & colored at the same time/ it’s so redundant in the modern world.”
