Go forth little black girl and dream show all the world what you know because if you sit here and wait your dreams matriculate
and then they seem to go
grab your pen and get up express who you truly are
because behind your flab and those crooked glasses there lies a star
. A little black girl that's how i identify me
and im here to show you other writin folks just what writing has done for me
see i never wanted to be noticed i never wanted fame
i just wanted people to understand from where my heartache came
for a portion of my life i hid my true self because i thought it was so ugly
and all that time i wrote because my pen would never judge me
my tear stained papers brought me through those hurtful nights
and brought peace to me in my daily fight
you see writing isnt something that can be attained
you have or you dont and nothing is the same
writing gives you the ability to reach someones hearts
who knew what kinds of things simple words could start
so you see when you ask me what does poetry mean to me
i simply reply and i cannot lie
writing is everything
