THE UGLY BLACK WOMAN
Her skin so dark
Like the ground, we walk upon
Her hair so wild and strong
Almost holding its own personality
Her eyes brown and wide
Carrying her curiosity
Her pride pushed down and trampled on,
Her smile so bright
Hiding away a thousand generations
Of pain and tears
And her heart cries a silent song
A song of an ugly black woman
A name brought about
Not by the way she acts
Not by the way she talks
Not by the way she walks
But by the color of her skin
An ugly black woman
But in my books
A beauty that holds her own!
