Love self
Goldenbrown Jul 2017
I Longed for your validation
I thought that if you loved me
I could start to love myself
But fighting for your love only made me hate myself more.

Black girl
Goldenbrown May 2017

Black girl scared of her own image,
Her own reflection
When she looks in the mirror she sees imperfection,
So she looks the other direction
Black girls mind is full of misperceptions

Bleaching her skin so she can be white enough
Straightening her hair cause white hair ain't tough
But all her efforts are never good enough

Black girl you're too loud
Black girl you're so ratchet
Black girl don't make a sound
Black girl just shut it

But loud is not ratchet
Boldness is simply passion
For you're voice, black girl
Is the voice of generations who
Were subjected to oppression

They have tried to keep you quiet
They have tried to **** you and your pride
But black girl you haven't died
Black girl you're still alive
Black girl take full stride

Scrutinized about her lips
But Kylie gets praised
Scrutinized about her hips
But plastic surgeons get paid
To have that silicon made for the  kardashians to put on display. Along with their "boxerbraids"

Correction
Their called cornrows
So I'm sorry if you were under the impression
That the style is Kim kardashians invention
But It was Worn by slaves and others all through out oppression
As a form of self expression
Only made possible through the hands of a true magician


Black girl you are magic
But that doesn't mean you don't feel
Black girl you are real
So don't conceal all your ebony appeal

Dark eyes, thick thighs we don't have to apologize
Don't listen to the world and it's lies

Whether dark,light, or mixed racial
Your skin, your hair and your soul
Are beautiful
Black girl they don't see you're value
And they won't until you do

They have tried to keep you quiet
They have tried to **** you and your pride
But black girl you haven't died
Black girl you're still alive
Black girl take full stride

Black girl power
Not just black girl hour
Black girl this is your time
Black girl rise up and shine
Black girl get in formation
Take control of the situation
Demand the attention of the entire nation
Because everything about you is captivating


Black girl you are a queen
You don't need sunscreen
For You're skin was made to be sheer butter or as rich as coffee beans
I'm sorry it's beauty goes unseen

Whether dark,light, or mixed racial
Your skin, your hair and your soul
Are beautiful
Black girl they don't see you're value
And they won't until you do
For one thing is true
They only envy everything ebony about you

A Lonely flower
Goldenbrown May 2017
A lonely flower in glass vase
No longer lonely
It's covered in bees who come and go as they please
She gives them everything and more
But that's not enough
They drain her of her fragrance
They drain her of her aura
But she continues to give them more
Until she has nothing to give at all
They leave her to die
A lonely flower in a glass vase

Hurricanes
Goldenbrown May 2017
Her feelings tore through her soul like a hurricane
So she stopped feeling to keep them at bay
But Being numb only brought her more pain

Dehydrated flower
Goldenbrown May 2017
I feel like a dehydrated flower in a broken vase
Water has seeped through the cracks
I'm shriveled over the edge
Slowly crumbling
Slowly falling apart

Eyes open to nothing but darkness.

Mind opens to Heavy thoughts about empty promises.

Road to revival
Goldenbrown Jul 2017
My soul revived in your broken hands
Gracious blood hold my sin and shame
Now forever until the end
Oh, You reign
Oh, You reign
Never alone young and free

Acid
Goldenbrown Jun 2017
Thoughts are acid
They burn through your scalp
Leaving holes in your brain
Holes that echo persistent pesky whispers
That drive you insane

Writings on the desk
Goldenbrown May 2017
People vandalize me like a school desk
Engraving their ****** words on my skin without realizing that those words they leave are permanent
Prominent
For the world to see
Those words become how I'm perceived

dragging their scissors across my skin
Carving in their heartless words
Without realizing those words
Are salt in my wounds

— The End —
