Insignificant, unimportant, inconsequential
People would look past me
They couldn't see that I had potential
I yearned so badly to be counted in
But instead I was counted out
Which led me to start following trends
But I soon took another route
Distinctive, unique, idiosyncratic
that's what I am
with melanin infused skin
flourishing in black girl magic
I love being unique
I vibrate your soul when I speak
I have an aura so strong
it'll sweep you right off of your feet
I love being different
I'm one of a kind
The entire sun is wrapped around my soul
Through my eyes it shines
