Her name is Beauty
Beauty Marie Jones
She’s got the most flawless melanin kissed skin with angelic undertones
She was teased for the very name that was given to her
Relentlessly rejected
Subjected to stares and side eye saunters
She resented her mom for all that’s she’s done
“How could she name me, beauty?
Why not Samantha or Sandra
Emily or Sue?
Why not Jennifer or Jessica
Ugh, what did I do?”
She considered changing her name
Imagined her skin
Fair and lovely
She dreamt of the day when she was mainstream
When her essence was worth currency
Like money
Beauty became less than that of her name
Falling into a depression
Striving for acceptance and white fame
Her mother witnessed what she feared
What she hated to see
The gradual downfall of her daughter, Beauty
She sat Beauty down
Explaining the origins of her name
Saying, we are of Queens and Kings
Majestic Royalty
We create culture and trends
We originate what you see
You envy girls who appropriate your culture and all that you do
Not realizing that you, Beauty
You envy you
Love your name
Love your nose
Love your skin
And your mane
Love your struggle
Love your smile
Your cheekbones
And thighs
Love your very essence
For you Beauty, you are a prize!
