little Black girl, I love you

1.
little black girl- here, hold the world on your shoulders, but don’t cry-it’s weak, don’t feel it’s pain-you’re too sensitive, don’t tell us how you feel-we don’t care, don’t ask for help, it’s too much. you are too much. just be quiet so that we can walk all over the world while you support it, believe in scarcity so that we can waste your wealth. just hold it and be quiet.

Little Black girl, I love you

Little Black girl, they see your light and they want to take it from you

Know that they cannot, no matter what they do, even if they rape you and kill you, they will never get it and it will never leave you.

Little Black girl, know that your choices are yours to make, your perception is yours to shape

Little Black girl, know that you are loveable, know that you are worthy.

Little Black girl, know that i love you.
