So What?


So what if my skin is darker

If my hair is thicker

If I have a daughter

So what if you think I’m mean

That I’m ratchet as hell

If I’m dirty instead of clean

So what if you will never love me

Because I love me 

And so does my mama

With my darker skin

Yet pretty face

With my “ratchetness”

With my slim waist

With my attitude

With my short fuse

With my thicker hair

Because I am me

That darker skinned girl

So what, I don’t care.
