Black Pearl

You do not hesitate, everyone 
           laughs and giggles at you
You do not hesitate, where
           you are rejected to stand
You do not hesitate, whenever
           Someone recommends a cream
You do not hesitate, when
           You are called as a Blacky
You do not hesitate, when
           The world feel hesitate to accept you
You do not hesitate, when
           you become a second choice
Oh! Woman, you do not hesitate
          To mirror yourself as a Black woman
Be the real you....!!!

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
