Black Girl Magic!

Curly hair or straight hair

Light skin, brown skin, or dark skin


We were all born beautiful queens

We shouldn’t care what people say about us


Like how our skin is too dark or how our hair is “nappy”  

Or how we’re too “loud” or how we’re too “ghetto”

We should be thankful how different we are from other people

 

We should love how our melanin be poppin in the summertime

But remember when they used to talk down on us, now they try to copy our style


Now they wanna lay their edges, wear box braids, etc

they used to call us bad things and criticized us for being black


Even though we can’t do nothing about it now

We are still going to shine and glow

We are still going to slay our BLACK GIRL MAGIC!

I wrote this poem because it's something all black girls can relate to!
