Yas Diva Slay
I am that black girl in your school who destroys your racists ideas.
My hair is as curly as Shirley.
I ask you guys not to touch my hair, but let's be real.
My hair is your very own petting zoo.
I am not some animal for you to pet.
This is my body, my space, and my voice.
My voice shouts for #BlackLivesMatter.
I am the one who will have your back.
No one will step over me or the one's I care for.
Life is a game that I refuse to lose.
I am going to recieve a college education.
For years I have joined honors class after honors class.
My education is my top priority that no boy will take from me.
I am amazing at playing the saxophone.
Musical talent is what I have.
Not only can I hold a tune, I can write some too.
I am proud to help others write their speeches.
Poetry, Impromptu, and SOS.
I give lots of laughs and the truth.
I am a girl that has never felt so confident.
I am Chanelle.
