“Too Blue For U” by Raven Damya Miles
the girl I dressed... and licked
a sweet bow... to become you
in pink I painted ... but blue I saw
Smiled with shimmer... laughed with unicorn glitter...
To become you
Walking with grace... never
in a chase... uncrossing legs to get there...
Pretty in pink... but blue stole dreams...
To become you
❤
Hearting my I’s... looping my L’s...
Moving with the pen ...
No longer in a rush... blue is too cute
Dancing with blue... pink no
longer the musé... made for blue...
Lets undo...
To become you
Raven Miles is a Black queer woman who radiates love and light wherever she goes. To her, being Black means creating joy out of struggle, finding beauty in truth, and loving boldly in a world that often forgets how. She moves with purpose, shaping spaces where authenticity, healing, and community can thrive.
Note from the Artist: My writing is born from the intersection of softness and survival. It's an offering, a reminder that even in the heaviest moments, there is light, rhythm, and rebirth. Writing allows me to translate pain into power and to speak love into spaces that have long been quiet.
