Black Girl
Curves to follow for days,
Twists and turns,
Blueprint of a maze.
Full lips, smooth skin,
Sharp tongue, story within,
Black girl.
Educated,
Contrary to naysayers' tongues.
Soft hands, hard head,
Rough life,
Freedom songs sung,
Black girl.
Eloquent speech
To reach
The minds of stereotypes.
Wisdom to raise the veils
From the blind and offer sight.
Made to nurture, requested to raise,
Attitude ain't so bad, sometimes too brave,
Black girl.
Often standing behind for support,
Hardly in front to define her worth,
Blind love, ebony hair,
Perfect poise, honest heir,
Almond eyes, round nose,
Scarred knees, painted toes,
Black girl.
