She

She is one of many complexities.
Stereotyped and stigmatized by her own because of the images seen on TV  
Negative connotations surround her because years of oppression have suppressed her inner being.

"She wears a crown on the head but the worlds on her shoulders"
As she struggles to disprove the very stigma that is she, that is her identity, as its been forced on her by every outside entity

She's been pegged as angry, unapproachable and cold/ but deep inside she has the most beautiful soul
She's accused of thinking she's better than you/ when in reality she knows her value is more precious than gold

She's trying to be comfortable in her skin/ yet the world refuses to let her grow, because based on their opinions lower than dirt is where she lands on the totem pole

Having and upholding her morals and standards doesn’t make her stuck up/ maybe it's time you step your game up

She's not bourgeoisie, It's just her "crown too heavy like the Queen Nefertiti"
 As she walks around wondering why can't the world see me?
Why won't they let me be me, 100% authentic as He created me

Black Queens you see it's time we put on a new identity/ stereotype ourselves with positivity
Let the world see us for who we are and not who they want us to be

We got to stop dwelling on what they think/ cause "they" are irrelevant to we live our lives happily
So with that in my mind I wake up daily and tell myself/
"Even if it makes others uncomfortable, I wanna love who am"
And I will do so unconditionally
