Love is Greater, than the Pressure to be Perfect. <br /> What People Say ; Doesn&#039;t Define Who I Am.<br /> I I&#039;m A Boomerang, Doesn&#039;t Matter How You Throw Me, Turn Around And I&#039;m Back In The Game, Even Better Then The Old Me

People say I’m ugly
That I’m too dark to be magical
But I think I’m beautiful
My complexion a collectible
My eyes, my nose, my ears
Are all original
My Black Is Beautiful
Creatable only by the Invincible
My gift from God
Is a personality that shines
A beautiful, chocolate complexion all mine
To be known is to be loved
And he loves me most
Creatable only by the Invincible
My Black Is Beautiful
