I Am A Black Woman

I am a black woman, a force to be reckoned with,

Born into a world that's rigged against me, it's a myth,

That I should be held back, or kept in a box,

For I am limitless, my spirit unorthodox.

My skin is a symbol of a story untold,

A history of pain and struggles manifold,

But I rise above it, with courage and might,

A warrior queen, a beacon of light.

My curves are my pride, my hair is my crown,

I am more than what they say, I won't let them bring me down,

For black women are magic, a force to be feared,

Our power is real, and it's time that it's revered.

I speak out for those who've been silenced and oppressed,

For my sisters who struggle, who've been dealt an unfair test,

I am their voice, their champion, their guide,

I will not rest until they stand tall with pride.

So hear me and hear me well,

I am a black woman, and I will not be quelled,

My dreams, my ambitions, my goals are all real,

And I will fight for them, with unwavering zeal.

For I am a black woman, unapologetically me,

And I will rise, against all odds, to be all that I can be,

My spirit is fierce, my soul unbreakable,

And I will not rest until my greatness is undeniable.
