As a daughter of the King,
I know I am more than
a number that magically knows my
flaws, imperfections, strengths, desires
and dreams.
I know I am more than
the sterotypical,
I'm just a criminal in your eyes
Because I'm not white as snow
In your eyes

Daddy took the next flight out
I'm the druggy
They say black lives don’t matter cause we out here killing each other.And when they see him all they think of is a thug.Another brother who’s gonna rot in the gutter.Get his picture ready for the newspaper.Tell his mother her son ain’t coming bac
Does beauty fade from my skin if it's too dark?

My roots are more knarled than the roots of an aged willow
My hair, my eyes, my mouth
None of them are ordinary.

Sometimes, my chest feels heavy
My mind has a habit of thinking about the world
And how it just doesn’t “get me”
Sometimes, my chest feels heavy
You look at me and think
Don't give me that look
Don't degrade me to my classmates
Don't ask me how I got onto your AP class attendance book
