Opinions

We must choose when to verbalize an opinion
Words can have a negative impact on ones abilities and image
So much talk about a young girl- a kids' hair
You'd think making history no one cared

Most appalling are the comments from the black community 
Filled with degradation inciting more division of unity
Comments less supportive which is what she didn't need
Opinions/thoughts that could potentially hinder her ability to further succeed

Now here again another media frenzy about her look and hair dress
Less talk about her continued efforts in being the best
Bypassing chanting of history being made

Yes I'm a competition that's not typically dominated by her race

But no, the focus negative plainly hateful
Is it our innate ability that we just can't  be civil 
Sometimes it's best to just focus on the positive the good
And consider ones mental aptitude so that words aren't misunderstood 

You can't know how opinions can affect a persons' mind
Therefore your opinions should  be appropriate, right place right time
Being glamorous just might not have been the priority
But staying focused on a predetermined journey

Again she succeeded and what did your opinion say
Undefined speculation why her hair was a certain way.
Not only was she judged by a numbered score
But by a host of critics who she plainly ignores

my poet, you are so right - these young women will have their names etched in history forever and some nobody with a tablet and wifi wants to get on line and talk about their hair, much respect for this write
