Too Black
They take my kindness
For weakness
And my silence as speechless
If a Black woman has a dream
It's considered unreachable
They want us to fit in world's society
Meaning
Lighter skin= Beauty
Longerv hair= Beauty
And Skinny is considered Beauty
My character is constantly
under attack
Because they consider the way we act as
Too Black
If I stand up for myslef
I'm too "agressive"
They say our voice doesn't matter but
That's not true don't Black Lives Matter?
This poem is about:
Me
My community
Our world
