Dear Black Girl


Dear black girl, 

 

You are the epitome of beauty.. where standards are set and you be the trendsetter 

That self love should be deeper than a sea… but put on display like an ocean front 

Know you never have to change for anyone.. and no your standards, your boundaries, and your values should never be compromised for anyone 

You don’t have to change for this world, for this world will change in due time

The way you talk is meant to be loud and clear.. never forget that 

The size of your lips are only larger than most because you were meant to be heard all over the world 

Your skin is fifty shades of dark to add a pop of color in the lives in which you’ve touched

Dear black girl date within your level of intellect because your knowledge and educational status reigns supreme 

Can’t no man or woman love you like you love you, so no more seeking validity from an outside source.. let it come from within 

No more playin tough girl.. it’s time for your soft girl era

Cause truth be told all these folks you had to get told still don’t get it… so no more wasting good energy tryna heal these lames.. heal your self Queen

Dear black girl you’re pretty… That’s it but that’s not all.
You’re beautiful, sexy, vivacious, breathtakingly gorgeous… and not just for a black girl, for real for real

You see, you never needed to do too much and deep down I think you always knew that… that is evident 

You bad without the bougie and baby you always been it 

Dear black girl you’re as relevant as the sun shines 

And even when the sun doesn’t shine I see you… I truly see you 

Dear black girl this is an ode to you, my queens… I love y’all
