On Top Of That

Young, gifted & black
And female
On top of that
The backbone of humanity
Longing
For the recognition
Of my peers
Of the male persuasion
Seeds planted inside
Waiting to be fertilized
Cultivated
And grown
I bear life
Then care and nurture it
In a way only a woman can
Alone if need be
I carry the struggles of man
But only as a woman can
Letting man know they are not alone
I've got your back
In sickness and in health
For better and always for worst
I carry the curse
Of the black male
On top of that
I'm a female
So I need you to have mine as well
Let me know you love me
Want me
Need me
I can give you the world
If you let me
Don't belittle me
Don't beat me
Don't try to outshine me
Yet shine with me
Unstoppable
Together is what we can be
Just love me
And let me love you in return
You will see
It's better to be
In the company of me
A female
On top of that
