                                              An Ode to Black Girls

                                        well east Asian girls are real fine
                                           they'll talk and act real nice
                                       and those white girls are so divine
                                       they've got beauty, flair, and style
                                             blonde hair, blue eyes, and
                                                       a loving smile
                                        Latinas cast a magic spell on me
                                          got me crazy, heart's beating
                                                        like a drum
                                        I've got eyes for little senoritas
                                               and the way they talk
                                        but black girls got them all beat
                                       I've looked near and far, gave my
                                                heart to all the world
                                     chased both blondes and brunettes,
                                             and everything in between
                                          picked me lotus blossoms and
                                                      Spanish flowers
                                     dreamed of golden-haired dames in
                                                    the midnight hour
                                        but black girls got them all beat
                                       I wish they were all like black girls
                                           with hearts warm as the sun
                                         and just being around them's so
                                                         much fun
                                          I've met my share of black girls
                                          some were beautiful, and most
                                                          were kind
                                            they didn't judge me by the
                                                        color of skin
                                           they looked deep down within
                                       all my life, they've been at my side
                                     black girls have quelled my fears, and
                                     black girls have wiped away my tears
                                       I cherish their panache, and hearts
                                                      warm as the sun
                                     Just being around them's so much fun
                                     I've looked near and far, gave my heart
                                            to the four corners of the earth
                                    chased both blondes and brunettes, and
                                                   everything in between
                                           picked me lotus blossoms and
                                                       Spanish flowers
                                      dreamed of golden-haired dames in
                                                      the midnight hour
                                      but black girls have got them all beat
                                     black girls have quelled my fears, and
                                     black girls have wiped away my tears
                                       I cherish their panache, and hearts
                                                      warm as the sun
                                     just being around them's so much fun
I've never actually fallen in love with a black girl before, but I've always had them as female friends. I've had my heart broken many times before, but never by a black girl. I've had mostly positive experiences with them, and most were quite kind to me. I wrote this poem when I was thinking about how I've always been able to make friends with black girls, and how at times they were the only kind of girls that were willing to talk to me. The ones I befriended were quite nice, and seemed to understand me better than a lot of other people did. I wrote this poem as a shout out to all the black girls who gave me friendship and kindness, and because I think that they're often underrated compared to other girls. I really wish that all the girls I loved had been as nice as the black girls I became friends with. It just goes to show that friendship is a really powerful thing, sometimes stronger than love.
