To think Dawn Butler is delusional

She has just put this out on her twitter feed, perhaps as an homage to a much better poem (Maya Angelou's And Still I Rise).
It's just awful, doesn't she have people to make her not look so bad?
'You wanted to see me broken
Head bowed and tears in my eyes?
More for you; you didn’t realise
That my strength is powered by your lies.
You are the wrong one, the violent one, the weird one;
Where was I?
I am the Chosen One
Because I am of the First Ones.
You see this skin I’m in
This beautiful mahogany brown
This skin you don’t like [shot of Kamala Harris], I believe.
So why you try so hard to achieve [shot of Dawn with a bemused fruit juice seller]
By burning yourself with the sun?
For me there’s no need
Because I am the Chosen One
For I am of the First Ones [another shot of a pharaoh like African figure].
I know I’m black and beautiful
An African freedom fighter [shots of US civil rights figures, including Martin Luther King]
My skin is my protection,
And you, my friend, don’t matter.
Because I am the Chosen One
For I am of the First Ones.
You created a structure
That made you seem great
But the simple reality is [shot of Dawn speaking in the Commons]
It is all fake.
Because I am the Chosen One
For I am of the First Ones.
So you wanted to see me broken?
Head bowed and tears in my eyes?
More for you, you haven’t realised
My strength is despite your lies.'
