Taken from her when she was forced on the boat
Beaten and tired when she acquired the status of queen
A crown made from the grativy defying strands became her blanketed coat
It's funny,
I grew up seeing the world as something beautiful
Painted with a crystal blue sky
And a warm, bright, yellow sun
But as I grew older
broken soul
I am
calm spirit
I am
cocoa skin
full lips
hips wide
black and beautiful
I am
heart so full
ready to love
I am
next chapter in life
