AfroPoets Famous Writers
Fragment
I am the woman with the black black skin
I am the laughing woman with the black black face
I am living in the cellars and in every crowded place
I am toiling just to eat
In the cold and in the heat
And I laugh
I am the laughing woman who's forgotten how to weep
I am the laughing woman who's afraid to go to sleep
Written by Angelina W. Grimke (1880-1958)
