I am a Beautiful Black Woman,
Living in a Society that wishes to mold me,
BUT my SELF-RESPECT won..t allow anyone but MYSELF to define me,
I don..t have to be like any other lady, (and I AM NOT)
Insubstantial judgements rarely do offend me,
I AM WHO I AM!!
I choose freely who I wish to be,
It is not hard to fathom
How I define me,
I don..t speak in Ebonics,
Pretending to be hooked on phonics,
Just to get in where I fit in,
With shallow cliques and deceitful friends,
GOD made me beautifully articulate, you see...
AND I DEFINE ME!!
I don..t need a MAN standing by my side,
to attain a sense of SELF-PRIDE,
A strong man..s LOVE is a commodity to be known,
BUT before a man undermines my strengths,
I would gladly stand ALONE!
Do I possess WEAKNESSES,
YES, that..s for sure,
BUT whatmakes me the QUEEN I am,
Is my ability to ENDURE..you see,
I DEFINE ME!!
Though its not always done easily,
Because the perils of our weak society,
Often catch us in an unjust propriety,
They say AN EDUCATED BLACK WOMAN
IS SOMETHING TO BE FEARED,
BUT as she chooses her path and DEFINES WHO SHE IS,..She is something to be revered,
I was not presented with a silver spoon
At the time of my birth,
BUT I didn..t wait around for the world,
TO DETERMINE MY INTRINSIC WORTH!!
I choose to stand out,
Never waiting for a hand-out,
I choose never to wait on destiny,
When I am perfectly capable of DEFINING ME!
You see, I DEFINE ME!!
Please take off your blinders and see,
This world won..t give credit where its due,
Until you stand on your own and decide,
TO DEFINE YOU!!.
