This Is How I Feel

Life cant be hard when you have people to be right by your side
I seem to be the only sad girl who cant seem to keep her head held high
A girl with a smile so vain
It feels like everyday it seems to rain
But through this poetry , I release my pain
In my eyes I am a African queen and nobody can take me off my throne
I know I have been judged in life but is it because of my skin tone ?
I’m like fire
I cant bring you satisfaction
But I can bring a distraction
To me , fire brings desire
These rhymes I bring are straight from the heart
So sad to know how something so strong can split apart
