Dear white woman,
Just because you don't have it
Doesn't mean you take it
big lips, big hair, thick body
Everything that you made us feel ugly about
My body is my temple.
My body is my holy ground.
They tried to burn it down just because I am "too round".
My body is my temple holy ground.
They don't like when I smile or when I frown.
I am Melanin
Got melanin?
I do, and why is that such a bad thing?
My hair is kinky; my nose is big.
I no longer wish to wear extensions,
Can I Get A Story
I am Black and American
Yet I am labeled as white
And not because I bite
I am beautiful.
I walk with my head up.
No looking to the left or the right of me.
Nobody could bring me down
I am my own person.
I am courageous.
