My Dark Queen

skin dark brown
scars here cuts there
a color so deeply rooted
in that of our ancestor

she's African.
born and raised here
but the rich color of
her skin tells her
story of let nite tears
and New York fears
where she's from she can not
hide
it's like her shadow
its by her side
skin so rich in culture
the history books couldn't
understand
the shame, the hurt, the pain
her parents had to with-stand
but her walk is clean her talk is mean
some call her dark queen
but yet no understands the weight of those words
trying to escape it all like jaybirds
and ya thought being free wouldn't take long
don't gett it twisted the lil misses...yea she strong..
