Little
girl, writing poems about this cruel world,
I
see you.
Telling
tales of tragedy that most do not understand,
I
feel you.
Brown
girl, wanting to be brighter to be better,
I am
you.
Own
your struggle because
we
are you.
Bruised
and bent but never broken,
I
applaud you.
Though
your scars are not apparent
That
does not make them any less real.
Stay
strong for you,
Stay
strong for me.
I
love you,
I
love you for your flaws.
I
love you,
I
love you for your strength.
I
love you for the tears you cry deep in the night
Young
woman, I see you.
I
see you in your laugh,
I
see you in your screams,
I
see you in the lakes of sadness hidden in your eyes,
I
see you.
Black
girl, you are beautiful,
You
are loved and you are cherished.
You
are strength and you are divine,
You
are everything that I would want to call mine.
Thanks for reading!
Hugs and kisses,
The African Beauté
