PUT DOWN THAT BLEACH.
Dear black girl,
You're as dark as the night sky
Many people will look at you and ask
Why?
Why are you beautiful
Full of beauty and grace
Your hair as soft as lace.
Dear black girl,
We live in white media
Where white society bashes on you and your curls
Professionalism they said
But racism is in their head.
Dear black girl,
Don't listen to them
You're a gem.
Dear black girl,
Please stay strong
Your lives matter
Your opinions
Are never wrong.
-j.r.
