The melanin which coats my skin so effortlessly Propagates poetry, completely faultless I am empowered and feared Like an electric fence surrounding the perimeter Of a jail house or asylum Both on either side recognize me As something without entry or exit "You're cute for a black girl" Is what they say to me - Though my knees fastened in position Standing tall I am supposed to bend and bow, To accept this "compliment" and condemn Others before and after me To accept is to limit the scope of beauty Because I am The exception; Why? I'm "cute for a black girl."  To all of the people With an outlook on life That only encompasses the width and length of a rabbit hole I salute your stupidity and arrogance Your firm belief in marching behind those Truly one of a kind, 100% seen faux compliments That I am not supposed to be offended by - When we all know every offensive statement begin with "no offense," How about You're cute for an ******* And You're absolutely **** for an imbecile - Who needs abs when you've got this?

"You're cute for a black girl"
The melanin which coats my skin so effortlessly Propagates poetry, completely faultless I am empowered and feared Like an electric fence surrounding the perimeter Of a jail house or asylum Both on either side recognize me As something without entry or exit "You're cute for a black girl" Is what they say to me - Though my knees fastened in position Standing tall I am supposed to bend and bow, To accept this "compliment" and condemn Others before and after me To accept is to limit the scope of beauty Because I am The exception; Why? I'm "cute for a black girl."  To all of the people With an outlook on life That only encompasses the width and length of a rabbit hole I salute your stupidity and arrogance Your firm belief in marching behind those Truly one of a kind, 100% seen faux compliments That I am not supposed to be offended by - When we all know every offensive statement begin with "no offense," How about You're cute for an ******* And You're absolutely **** for an imbecile - Who needs abs when you've got this?
For anyone who has received this golden compliment of the highest order, do not let the giver slide away so easily. "Compliments such as these need to be burned and burried.
