"Strong black woman, words rooted in racism and slavery
Three words often spoken without realizing
While they seem empowering, they are dehumanizing
You expect me to be strong, never weak or vulnerable
But you forget that I am human, so I am not indestructible
Inside this body dwells a heart
That can sometimes be fragile and torn apart
Strength is what I exert
But I am a person, therefore I still hurt"
