I am a black girl
skin golden and eyes bright
I am a black girl
heart of fire
lips full
ass sitting high
I am a black girl
mind full of adventure, ambition and light
I am a black girl
Though many might not join OUR fight
I am a black girl
I'll break down a building behind mine
confident, authentic and wise
I am a black girl
In the next lifetime, if I return, I hope I rejoin as something nurtured & cared for by a black girl
rather a summers day
or early windy may
I am a black girl
I'm not allowed to crack or break
I must stand above it all because "strong" is our strongest narrative
and everything would crumble if they see me shake
I am a black girl it's perfectly okay for me to not be okay
I am a black girl my love isn't unconditional if your heart doesn't lead the way
I am a black WOMAN
in a world so weak and ignorantly frightened of me , the only person I look forward to impressing is the little black girl inside that went through so much pain
I am a black girl
