THIS IS FOR GIRLS LIKE RUBY

This poem is dedicated to girls like Ruby. Girls whose dark skin turn blue under moonlight; Girls burdened with the curse of making things right; Girls whose eyes sparkle like the stars in a starry night; Girls who never back down without a fight. This poem is for girls like Ruby, Always giving, Always caring, Always helping, Always sharing! This poem is for girls like Ruby, Who are fed up, Sick, Tired, Of being taken for granted. Tired, Of being a shield. This is for girls like Ruby That navigates through a world that hates them with grace, That refuses to let the world dictate their fate. This is for girls like Ruby, Whose self care equals to death, Whose self interest is automatically selfishness; I love you. I care about you. You are enough. You deserve to follow your dreams. This is for girls like Ruby (Baptiste).
