Queen 👑

Queen

I am an African queen.

Flowing brown.

A beautiful shade of melanin.

 

I am an African queen.

I smile like the sun is

My long lost lover.

 

I am an African queen.

My head is decked with a knotted crown.

A crown pointing to the stars.

 

I am an African queen.

My people call me ‘Indoni yamanzi’,

‘Cistern of water.’

 

I am an African queen.

Woman.

Queen.

 

I am an African queen.

My love is true,

Stubborn like my coily curls.

 

I am an African queen.

Black.

Beautiful.

Enough.
