I am Beautiful

I am beautiful 

Because I am God made 
Different in shades
Looked down upon 
But I am beautiful 
I am the woman that birthed you 
The woman that spent 245 years enslaved
OPPRESSED
but I am beautiful 
I am the black woman 
Whose beauty is determined by the color of her skin
The length and texture of her hair 
The curves of her body 
The size of her cups 
But I am beautiful 
OSTRACIZED
accused of being angry all the time 
Living in a world where were not as 
"Foreign" as we should be 
I AM BLACK AND I AM BEAUTIFUL
