Yeah yeah we heard it

Black is beautiful

But what about me is beautiful

My big brown eyes

My hazelnut colored skin

Or my long voluminous black hair

Oh that’s not all…

Is it my sarcastic attitude

Or my intelligence

My wisdom beyond my years

Perhaps my gap

Matter of fact

It’s all of that, that makes me beautiful

Then again, they always tell me

“Black is beautiful…”

Tell me something I don’t know

My black is beautiful

Her black is beautiful

OUR —  black is beautiful
