Queen By: Dolisha DeVonne

I consider myself Queen among many things,

My brown skin, my dark hair, my gold, hoop earrings,

My loud mouth, my big voice, my full round lips,

My brown eyes, these huge thighs, my round breast and hips,

I consider myself Queen among many things,

You’d have to admit, you never seen such a beautiful being,

The essence of dark beauty, God’s blessed and marvelous creature,

More complex and mysterious beyond my physical features,

I am the temperate soul of your grandmother,

The loveliness of your mother,

The sassy attitude of your sister,

And the passion of a devoted lover,

The most intimidating figure, with peasants that mock my style,

Wishing they possessed a melanin so golden brown,

I consider myself Queen among many things,

I can hypnotize your mind in the way my hips swing,

The taste of my lips will make you remember every tender kiss,

And if I leave you alone for more than a moment, it is my love you will reminisce,

I know what you’re thinking, “She thinks way too much of herself,”

“Who is she to think she is above everyone else?”

When I came to realize my worth is bigger than your expectations,

I broke all barriers and showed the world my greatness,

My stance remains sturdy, without a single doubt,

I giving no living soul the authority to take my crown,

So when you approach me, bow down and give respect,

Or the Queen will have your neck.
