Black Beauty

Flawless an independent vision of fame,

My chest, my hips, my waist, my thighs, these curve,

can never compose these words spoken from the bottom of my heart,

As I spit to this beat, Flawless!

A figure of beauty,

Over powering every women in the room as people gaze and whisper, "Whose she, whose that?" "Damn baby you complete me!"

She is never ashamed of who she is or how she looks,

What people say does not matter to her.

She is beauty, she is gorgeous, she is what God made her.

Flawless!

But,

When you gaze at me, flawless is as different as society,

An African beauty from the mother land.

My skin color is as juice as the berries grown from the sweet soil back home.

My kinky hair can over power a comb;

braking it with it might power of thickness.

Honoring it's ancestors with its pride as my body units with them as one.

We are Flawless!

Nefertiti, Cleopatra, Lupita Nyong'o, Jessica Williams, Chantelle Young.

Showing their love for their fair skin.

All we can do is be are selves,

so give credit when it's due.

Shining your flawless light on others,

Can make them wonder if speaking up can be a cause of being you.

Inspired from all these beautiful faces around,

We must stand up and unit as one.

Shunning the dought, the haters, and the egoist's.

Yelling: We are Flawless! A beautiful sculpture of ourselves standing together as one! We shall not stop till others know that black is beauty!
