Life as a black teenage girl has a lot to say or to think

Living as a black girl

Dreaming about the stars above wondering if there is life
I, I am that girl thinking about the stars wondering what is life beyond the Galaxy
I want to live in the future but can't
Doing my work thinking about the subject that can help me reach my goals
Thinking about the time I am missing assignment and due dates
But I always stopping to think about the stars above our world

Lupita N’yongo said “ My mother reminded me often that she thought that I was beautiful but
that was no conservation, she's my mother, of course, she's supposed to say that I am beautiful”
My mom said the same thing to me when I was younger but I didn't understand it until I came to
America and experience what being black is all about

I look at the stars overseas and saw the moon shining bright blinding me with it's light
I'm thinking about the stars wondering if life is above us
I'm thinking about the stars wondering if I'll ever be able to go on the moon.
I'm thinking about the stars wondering if I'll ever be as bright and shine as the stars and the
moon do

“I remember a time when I too felt unbeautiful” Lupita

Sometimes I feel like drowning in my pain and never coming back into reality.
Because reality has too many problems and sores to deal with.
I feel unbeautiful sometimes because when I look at movie stars, models, celebrities with their
money and house.
I'm still here living a life that I know I won't succeed in life, get a degree and make my mom
proud
What do I do?
Do I look up at stars and wish my worries away
Or do I get down on my knees and pray to the lord above and ask him for forgiveness and wait
until everything is fine and go his way and then I'll be alright

I'm looking at the stars wondering if I'll ever be alright and stop stressing about work
I'm looking at the stars wondering if my life is planned out or if I'm living in a reality tv show
I'm looking at the stars wondering if things will go as planned and I get my degree and live up to
the standard that my mom wants me to be
But I remember thinking about the stars how they shine so bright even in the darkest days and
nights.
Where we are sleeping and dreaming about life and hopes and happiness.

I'm thinking about the stars and wondering when will it be my turn to live my dreams.
