Dear Little black girl by Alexi Simpson

With your curls, tangles and coils 
With your melanin skin, your cheek bones and your smile 
The little girl who should stand proudly on American soil 
And the girl with her unique style
The girl who can move mountains with her voice 
And the girl with absolute power 
The one who was taught to carry herself with poise 
Yet still as delicate as a flower 
Don’t let this world fool you 
It can be cruel, disgusting and mean
But we should all realize 
That God created us to be queens 
We are the color 
The blueprint 
The trendsetter
And the girl with exceptional strength 
When you look in the mirror tonight 
you’ll see nothing but beauty 
And realize your worth 
Because we were made to be magnificent 
And it started with our birth

   "I love to write in my free time and enjoy writing poems, haiku’s, free verse poetry and short stories. My writing usually consists of love, family, personal life experiences, or real world issues that currently take place. I hope that my writing can bring awareness to certain world issues and help creat a safe place for those who may share the same experiences as me. Aside from writing, I also enjoy photography, exploring nature and love to work with children."
