To my Queens, I'm sorry
I'm sorry for the disrespect you've had to go endure
People have called you names not found on your birth certificate
Given you names while being misinformed of who you really are
I'm sorry
For not being able to defend each of you at every drop of disrespect
For not being able to change people's minds about you when they judged you and made decisions based on hearsay and not the truth
My apologies, especially to my black queens due to the actions of my species
Men ran into villages and took everything from you
They raped you and made you live with the shames and consequences that came with the brutality
They forced you to be slaves mentally and physically and then took away husbands from your love and acceptance
Enslaved the children that they cut from your womb and you had no say in anything
I'm sorry,
For the fact that you don't feel accepted
You were once royalty beside the king of your dreams
You were downgraded to a being with no rights and look at as property
And now, now you feel you have to show skin to be what's in
No longer showing what's within cause you don't believe it's valuable
But showing what's on the outside because it's trending
I'm sorry. For your way of thinking is not what you have chosen but what's been forced upon you
And for that I hope you accept my apologies.
