Hiding Behind the curtains
She spoke loud and talks with a voice that unheard of
she spoke loud and theres no face revealed
she spoke loud and the words that she is saying is rhyming to such rhythm that the crowd that stands there before the curtains begins creating an illusion Idol of her
she spoke loud and behind the curtain she: the African American girl whose obese, dark skin, and has short black nappy hair is being heard
she spoke loud hiding behind the curtains
the curtains which had hidden the lies and told the truth
beauty is the person inside you
she spoke loud and so did her beauty and though her features are judges and sometimes unloved
she spoke loud and the curtains its self could not keep her talents hidden
hiding behind the curtains speaking loudly verses and lines
reward with applauds and standing novations every time
hiding behind the curtains She was loud, and beautiful in the eye's and ears of crowd
It was she the outcast of society
The unshaped fit for a magazine or high school cheerleading squad
it was she hiding behind the curtains
