Black

She said she's  not dark
She said she's black 
A bright soul in a black skin
She was in a dark world!

They said black is beauty
They said she's a black beauty
But men only want her in the dark
She was in a dark world!

They said they want a down to earth lady
But how do you become one
When everyone comes from a different world
she was in a dark world!

She never wanted to be a fantasy
Men have fantasies; then they have life
She wanted to be someone's life even when
She was in a dark world!

She now lives in a world brightened by her smile
Full of colour and life and pomper
Her own world where no one says
She's in a dark world!

So if you want; Go get her
She's an African lady
She's a black Queen
She's never in a dark world!!
