Eu Sou

So small and so sensitive to the touch of the abuser
Early on defined by the voice and its color
Forgotten by the father and the mother who made but did not raise
But grateful to God
For your grandmother and grandfather

Marginalized and alone, for not being like everyone else
Unable to see beauty in your natural body
Idolizing white for not being the real standard
But understood that the world is yours, trying never hurts

I am
The voice of black resistance
I am
Who will empower my flag
I am
And no one will change that
Everything started to go right when I learned to love myself

Your nose is beautiful, black
Your mouth is beautiful
And your hair is beautiful, black
Your color is beautiful

If you were rejected
None of this will matter
Everything will always work out
Just love yourself
