Queen 

Profile of an elegant black woman in a sequined dress holding a jeweled crown.

Queen 

STAND BACK!

While I pick up my crown

For it has fallen

When I was sad and down

My people

Friends and family

Loved ones and lovers

ALL watched me fall

But didn’t offer a hand

So, I did it myself

Dusted my own clothes

Fixed my own hair

Adjusted my own crown

It took a few tries

Sometimes i faltered

Other times I wanted to give up

But I never lost faith

IN MYSELF

So,

STAND BACK

While I adjust my crown
