Awesome Diary

Hey little black girl why the long face

You’re awesome in so many ways

Doesn’t matter the color of your skin

The length of your hair or the color of your eyes

You’re awesome comes from within

The way you see your complexion begins with you

Stand up straight look in the mirror and embrace you

You’re awesome because your skin resembles history

History that seems inhumane, relentless, and phenomenal

The past events should exude confidence inside

You know that I’m black and I’m proud era

You’re awesome because you’re not that brainless stereotypical black girl

Who lives in the ghetto, raising an abundance of children, while displaying ignorant attitudes

Instead you’re in college trying to make a way

Hey little black girl why the fallen tears

Is the reason because you yearn for a black man to

To love, to accept, to support, to heal all the pain

Someone too see you as much as you see them

Wipe those tears, dry your eyes

He is coming, because god works in mysterious ways

Hey little black girl fear no more

Your dreams will come true

You will soon graduate and be a role model to the world

No matter the various circumstances

Black girl’s rock

Stand up straight look in the mirror and say I’m awesome in my own way
