Unapologetic Black Woman

I love my fiery passion for seeking to understand others.
I love my melanin, and how I'm sometimes unbothered.
I love how I rise when I've been down for too long.
I love how I love and I love that I'm strong.

I love that I know it's okay not to be okay,
I love how I embrace new beginnings each and every day.
I love how different I am from my white counterparts in every way.
No disrespect, but that's something I'm very proud to say.

I love my resilience,
I love how I bounce back,
Most of all I love that I'm a woman who is black.
