Her Imperfections Are Beautiful

She's been through the most
Body shamed everywhere she goes
Like an angel with broken wings, she lost hope
like a guitar with broken strings, she got cold
She has a dark skin and she feels very old

She's on her toes jumping off the ledge
Her soul's been driven to the edge 
She's been dismantled because of the size of her breast
She has no one including a friend
That was before she was stabbed in back

Anyways she's still a queen
no matter how dark her skin is
She's very beautiful within
She may not be pretty
but she's still a queen
