Being BlackBeing Black is something to be proud to be But carries a weight heavier than the heaviest animal Being Black gets you labeled Gets you on the list as number one suspect Or dead on the ground as if you didn’t matter Being Black comes with the tails of our ancestors Their trials and tribulations as slaves to the Masters who imprisoned them. Being Black comes with our hair From curly to coily Too Thick or Thin Beauty in every way I Am Who I AmI am who I am
From the color of my skin To the texture of my hair. I am who I am From the trials and tribulations faced throughout my life From the experiences that have crafted me into the person, I am now. I am who I am Because of my mother, the woman who has made me into who I am. I am who I am Because I am strong and unafraid of what others think of me. I am who I am And I am proud to be me.
