Nala and Ursula


It's getting better now

but girls my age

shouldn't have had to settle

for Nala and Ursula

as their only

"black" and fat representation

in terms of female Disney principal roles

they aren't even human

but I hear poets

only a tidbit older than I

screaming how they clung to them

since they felt that was all they had
