I once wished to be different, to be the girl everyone looks up to,
To be the representation of beauty, to be the center of attention and to be accepted,
I once wish to have long straight hair lying flat on back and smooth as silk,
For beautiful eyes, fair golden skin, to be accepted and desired by everyone, to be that girl everyone envied
I once wished to be different....
Different!? I am different, I have brown skin kissed by the sun to perfection,
My curls were single handedly coil by God himself and my crown shaped to his liking,
Oh, how my eyes glisten in the sun, reflecting like a pool of golden honey on a beautiful summer day,
I am molded in a way that is excellent of my purpose in this land,
So yes, I realized I am different,
I am extraordinary in so many ways that it sometimes confuses the weak and narrow minded
And because of that I open my eyes and saw the reflection of a Queen,
I will always wish to be me.
