Black Beauty Shines
Inside the hues of diverse, my complexion sings,
With cheekbones structured, unique it rings.
My beauty blooms in shades profound,
In every hue, my essence found.
For I am more than just a tone,
A woman bold, in courage shown.
My skin, a canvas, royal pride,
In its embrace, I do confide.
I love myself, each shade, each hue,
A testament to strength anew.
In every feature, truth is clear,
No illusion, no veneer.
Black, the color, bold and strong,
In its embrace, I do belong.
A legacy of power, grace,
From ancestors, a cherished trace.
Inside out, my beauty beams,
In every word, my spirit gleams.
Unbowed, unbroken, soul defined,
Black beauty, timeless, intertwined.
Honor, grace in every line,
Proudly wear this face of mine.
In every glance, in every trait,
Black beauty, everlasting, great.
So, heed these words, appreciate,
The beauty in diversity's gate.
For in my blackness, love's embrace,
My beauty shines, a sacred grace.
