I am a Black woman; a Queen
Made up of the sweeter things; honey, brown sugar
Shining bright with dark melanin, like gold dipped in chocolate
I use the moon and the stars when I get lost in oblivion, for there is also light in darkness
And while it may tip or slide, my crown never falls, as I walk with grace and stride with integrity
5'4'' on the outside with a soul taller than Nefertiti's crown, I will not hesitate to walk through the valley of the shadow of death
Because Queens fear no evil
I work hard to accomplish dreams you may have never seen, yet I humble myself as I get closer to the throne
As men like to say, "women never forget"
And I will never forget being a Queen when my experiences were those of a jester...
