Ode to Ahmaud

I too am a runner.

I too am a fighter.

I too am Black.

I too am Ahmaud.

I too am hated.

I too am loved.

I too am angry.

I too am Ahmaud.

I too am a reminder.

I too am a symbol.

I too am Black.

I too am Ahmaud.

I will always run.

I will always fight.

I will always be Black.

I will always be Ahmaud.
