When I was young I was sprung 

By going on playgrounds and having fun

Caring little about homework because I felt 

I was entitled to none 

 

Having sleepovers with with girls

We painted our nails and put on pearls

Although Most nights I stayed home and played alone 

Those memories from being with my friends were never gone

None the less those days are over, I realized

 

As I got older I got bolder  

I prioritized my education 

And glorified my discrimination 

As a young black girl I was destined for greatness    

 

I strived to expand my knowledge

Later on it will help me in college 

Not only to enhance my studies

But perhaps meet new buddies 

 

Despite the odds of those in charge 

It never slipped my mind that I wouldn’t enlarge 

Not only in education but as a public speaker to women in our nation

With all The hardships and plenty more to come I Will remained humble until the battle is won
