My African American Me
My skin is dark
My hair is short
I'm beautifully unique
my African American me
My eyes are brown
my voice is loud
it's almost profound
My history is strong
my people will fight
and we won't stop
until America is right
Society wants to question me
"are you ashmed of being you?"
"don't you want long hair?"
"wouldn't that be fair?"
"Or don't you want blue, green, or hazel eye's?"
But don't you realize that I see through the lies
I don't need to look like society's perfect girl to be beautiful
My skin maybe dark
and my hair mght be short
but I'm beautifully unique
my African American me.
