I am the imperfect yet perfect beauty that lies on the scale of brown.
I am the overflowing rivers that run wild and free.
I am every blade of grass that flows gently with the wind.
I am everything and yet I am nothing at all.
I am the young African American queen that stands firm and will not be moved.
I am the girl who holds fear in her heart but still decides to press forward.
I am all these things and yet I am equally not these things.
I am not always kind because I am angry, angry at the world for treating me as if I was another statistic.
Angry for being underestimated and undermined because of my ethnic background.
Angry because I have to work insanely hard to get half of what the "superiors" have.
But most of all, I am me and no one can take that from me.
If I offend you with my words then good because the truth is always a bitter pill to swallow.
If you do not understand where I am coming from, then that is ok because you only know what you are constantly surrounded by.
If you do not agree with me and hold hatred towards me then that is ok because you are entitled to have your own opinion.
