I am curvy and nerdy
Self-esteem a little sturdy
Hmm. can't even count how many times I've been told I have a body that people pay for
But how is that supposed to make me feel good, when those people are always shamed for
They taunt
They laugh
They push
They talk about my afro like "bush" for hair
But Ion care I love my bush I love everything about me
Thye just hate me and degrate me they try to break me down
Chapped lips
Pale face,
Little World
Big mistakes.
I may seem troubled from your point of view
But I have no regrets.
You can keep me locked in your chains,
But does that protect me or you?
I started college at seventeen
Not on a whim, on a dream
To show the world who I wanted to be
I was looking for something, something more
Something to show for myself, which could not be ignored
I started college at seventeen
Not on a whim, on a dream
To show the world who I wanted to be
