Black Gold from Trapped by Denara Auriel

I see you, queen
See you shining
Smiling
Thriving like you should
I see them wanting
Taking
Faking
All the things they wish they could
I know it's hard
Holding a world on your shoulders that hates and takes from you
But we got each other
More than anyone else to get us through

And they don't like
The way we shine
They try to steal
Our mass appeal
Make fun of us
Then steal our stuff
I know shit's rough
But remember you're more than enough
Keeping shining, shining
In all your bold
Don't let em take your black gold
Keep shining, shining
In all your bold
Don't let em take your black gold

I see your crying
Praying
Aching
Hoping for easier days
Where you can be happy
Healthy
Loved and protected in all of the ways you deserve
I know it hurts
To be fighting and loving those who see you the worst
If we love each other
We can show we deserve to be first
And I heard

That they don't like
The way we shine
They try to steal
Our mass appeal
Make fun of us
Then steal our stuff
I know shit's rough
But remember you're more than enough
Keeping shining, shining
In all your bold
Don't let em take your black gold
Keep shining, shining
In all your bold
Don't let em take your black gold
