Beautifully Black

My black is beautiful from head to toe It's not just the fullness of my lips, or broadness of my nose. My black is beautiful; it’s not a curse but a gift It’s more than the texture of my hair, and the span of my hips My black is beautiful; both inside and out It defies the odds, erases all doubts My black is beautiful ; it's strong and its proud It whispers so powerfully that it screams out loud. My black is beautiful, it obliterates the stigmas It's not what you call conceit, its confidence and charisma My black is beautiful, a flawless creation It stand on adversity, overpowers degradation My black is beautiful, spirited and resilient It’s phenomenal, significant, and astonishingly brilliant My black is beautiful; it’s the embodiment of faith Its hope, and its grandeur, its glory and grace My black is beautiful, although seldom seen It’s the crown that adorns the heads of true kings and queens
