How She Feels

She feels behind She feels backward She doesn't like herself She hates her complexion She likes comparison She feels ashamed of her skin color She feels bored with her hair She puts on other hair with a western name She doesn't even like her language She feels so inferior She thinks she can not She gave herself a limit She has a negative perception She is ruined That everything of her she doesn't believe it She is so brainwashed by the media That she wants to imitate everything She can't go far She gave herself a limit Only had she known She is beautiful Just the way she is She is unique but she fades away that uniqueness in her She has potential But she does not realize it Come on my people Wake up! And let's rethink
