Me?


Am I not enough me? Enough for you or society? I'm african american, shouldn't that be enough, Oh since i'm black and a girl you expect me to be belittled, ignorant and vulnerable and to be ok with it. Well sorry to burst your bubble but i'm on the contrast of your opinions This powerful woman has the body of a goddess, intellect of a Einstein and power like a titan. I apologize for not being ignorant enough for you to put me down and for me not to know otherwise. I am sorry I am not weak willed and easily convinced. I have not and will ever submit and lie down to your lies, deceitfulness and hatred.. I am and will always be the girl you look back and envy, The girl you wish you would have talk to that night, That tall bronze god-made female that you wish you would have looked at a second time. But here is the thing, you didn't. So it really does not matter what you think or what you should have thought I'm me and there is no question about it.
