She is Pretty... For a Dark Skinned Girl

She walks the walk, she talks the talk

She looks the part; you feed off of her energy

She is confident and happy, but bound and broken

She loves and lives, but cries and doubts, although

She is beautiful, but she doesn’t know it.

She mocks herself, and stabs herself

She bleeds endlessly, and never moves on

She hates herself, she hates her fate

She feels alone, she needs to know why

She is beautiful, but she doesn’t know it.

She can dive and delve, in the contours of pigment

She is sensual and she is beautiful

She is cautious and she is versatile

She is a mirror of her society, to me

She is beautiful, and I know it.

She sheds the tears, of the African sun

She shouts the cry, of a bold spirit

She deserves a toast, for she plays her part

She was, she is, she will always be because

She is beautiful and she must know it.
