Black girl

It’s not the color of your skin

the texture of your hair 

the size of your butt 

the spread of your thighs 

that defines you. 

It’s the way you stand up tall 

The confidence in your talk 

That makes people grow towards you. 

Each individual sees different

But what do you see? 

I see me and you the same color on the out 

But very different inside. 

I wouldn’t define myself as a “black girl” 

Which is just a color. 

I would define myself as Me

And you as you 

We are together as one 

But our personalities are two 

Different things.
