Determined Black Girl
In school by herself,
Working and talking with nobody else.
All alone in this worl’
Is a young black girl.
She is ignored and mistreated,
by the teachers and students alike.
If people see her they judge her,
and spray paint profanity on her bike.
She's still happy.
Determined that her dreams will come true.
Fearing nothing but fear itself,
this girl is angry at nobody but herself.
Angry, angry, angry.
Because of being a woman.
Because of the color of her skin.
But, yet this girl is determined to win.
She takes no stress and tries her best.
Not because she's a black woman
that wants to have fun,
But because she is determined to be someone.
