Diary Of A Black Girl
Anjelica Nov 2017
Being a girl is hard
But being a black girl...
Let me tell you about being a black girl
Leave Out
Twist
Frontal
Perm
Pick your poison
"Unprofessional"
Or falling for " European Beauty Standards"

" Why are you so quiet?"
Do you expect me to be aggressive
And snap my fingers in an A-Z formation

Light Skin is the best skin
Or so they say
I'm jealous of my brother, for his caramel skin
Oh what I'd do for that caramel skin

You think that's the worst of it but have you see ****?
Cute girl makes love to -insert famous **** star here

Ebony b-itch gets banged till she squirts

Which would you rather watch?

If you ever turned on a TV you'd see reality shows with the perfect blue eyed blond hair cast and the one black kid who doesn't get enough attention

Ever since Rachel was the Bachelorette I too prayed one day I'll find the man of my dreams

Have you ever had a crush on someone and ever think if they even like girls your skin color?

Being a girl is hard
But being a black girl
Oh let me tell you about being a black girl
A spew of thought about being a black girl in todays society not feeling "good enough" or loved.
Anjelica Mar 2018
Maybe I'm just an old soul
Or a hopeless romantic

But what i need is far more than physical
Tell me what your favorite book is
Instead of all the ways you can make me ***
Or send me a picture of a painting from a museum
Rather than that so called master-piece you refer to below the belt

Men try so hard to dive between my legs
But not enough to dive into my mind

Do I look like an airhead?
Because I assure you that I'm not

Will the mentality ever overcome the physicality?
Lately I've been feeling like an object to guys instead of a person. It's like no one wants to get to know me

Circles
Anjelica Nov 2017
In math class we're learning about circles
But the only circles I'm thinking about are the ones your tongue Makes on my *******
Draw me a circle

Change The Channel
Anjelica Oct 2017
Heartbreak is like Tv
Re-Runs of the same show
But I keep watching
when we experience heartbreak but we continue to put ourselves out there knowing the outcome

Notice Me
Anjelica Oct 2017
Did you notice this lipstick I'm wearing?
I know red is your favorite color
Did you notice I filled in my eyebrows
Just for you to ask me out
Did you notice how I went to the gym today
And everyday
Did you notice how I didn't get the extra large fries
Or how I skipped dessert
My stomach is growling
But not for food
Did you notice this new underwear I'm wearing
It was 8 for $28
This concealer I'm wearing is $30
So maybe it can cover the bags under my eyes
From when you didn't text me back
Notice me
Because I notice you

You Are
Anjelica Oct 2017
you are
the cold hands that choke me when i least expect it
10,9,8,7.. when will this be over
the dark cloud that lingers around me
Am i the only one who's seeing this?
the monster hiding under my bed
oh i know monsters don't exist
But you don't know this one
The voice I can't escape
"Are you seriously standing up here right now?"
The force that make my heart beat at an exponential rate
drummer boy?
Oh no, thats just me
Devil in disguise?
No he wants you to notice him
The push into the pool knowing I can't swim
What will **** me first, you or the chlorine?
You will destroy me
Bury me
Personally throw me into a coin
Make it your mission to see me fail
You are right in front of me
You are anxiety
And I hate you
for times when you feel like your social anxiety will be the death of you

Summer In The Winter
Anjelica Mar 2018
March air hits me hard
But snow fall sits upon
A fresh start lays here
But I'm still seeing the past
Existing at the same time

Speak To Me
Anjelica Oct 2017
The devil speaks
He will cast a spell on you
And I'm hypnotized
don't believe everything anyone tells you
Anjelica Nov 2017
its 1 am on a school night and i find myself walking-scratch- that sobbing while walking back from campus
usually i would be so anxious walking  home but honestly i was to distraught this day i wished something happened so for a split second i could forget about everything

but unfortunately for me i made it back
still sobbing i may add as I'm sitting on the toilet with my dollar store razor to my wrist

being the ***** that i am i didn't do it but i wonder if the blood dripping out of my body would hurt more than the words that were

said to me that made me hate every single thing about me
almost a year later i come to find out that pinching is a form of self harm

and the marks on my arm eventually fade but the memories i hold will last forever

stranger things used electroconluvsion therapy
but i find it even stranger that i would use that on myself

now it's almost December
and the hands i used against myself
i now turn into beauty on pen and paper
and the blood is still running through my veins
reminding me why i get up every morning
and the voice that was too afraid to stand up for her self
is now used to help others

So *******, and you, and you, and yes even you too
for giving me the worst day of my life
but thank you for showing me
that I deserve better
almost a year ago i experienced the worst day of my life. it took a while but thanks to therapy i learned how to move on and realize that some things aren't meant to be.

— The End —
