She asked me to show her what beauty was
So I handed her a mirror that kissed her perfection
And asked if she saw heaven or hell in her reflection
Silence greeted acid rain tears that peeled away her insecurities
Maybe once she wanted to be anything but brown
And finally be able to let her hair down that stood as resistant as our ancestors
Sometimes she wished that her hips weren’t so round
And that her pride stuck around every time BET showed the next girl of the week
And my heart…
My heart bleeds for her
I can’t help but feel for her because within in her there is an old me
I remember how being a teenager can be when nobody seems to understand
And won’t lend a helping hand like the power hiding inside of your voice
And sometimes we have no other choice but to try to fit in
Especially when being like everyone else is the new trend and individuality is gone with the wind
See, I remember having friends who only wanted me around when their confidence was down
Because me being a shade of darkest brown was what repaired it
And no I didn’t share it
You could look at me but couldn’t tell it
Eyes dry but my soul felt it
Till one day my resolve melted and I had to make a decision between society…
And me
Uncovered the mirror of darkness with the light within
And exposed the world to the type of beauty only an Infinite Mind can be
Reshaped and formed the woman inside of me screaming to be free
From the chains of insecurities that kept her in captivity
See, she’s half my age but stronger than I will ever be
And I appreciate the beauty in all people that sometimes only a mind’s eye can see
For beauty is just a word until you give it reality
And a mirror is just a mirror until you see your reflection internally
...I'm In Love...
I'm in love
I'm in love with your thoughts and your presence
The naturality of your essence
The shear of your being that has suggested
That the eloquence of your voice bears a message
Time proved and tested that the visibility of your existence was part of my Life's mission
I'm in love with the inhibition that you can bring me joy and relieve me of the heartache that I have endured
That you are the resolution to the greatest mysteries and you see the beauty I have grown to be
I'm in love because you are the other half of me
You accept my flaws
See the triumphs in my falls
Acknowledge the laws and the theories broadcast by many that believe that love is the enemy
The reason for their envy, we merrily drink of love because there is plenty
Shoot ammo till they run empty, they have nothing to say cause loving you is the rebuttal to their argue….
Meant for companionship, I resent that I chose to deal with embodied self pity till I looked in your eyes that shone brighter than a new penny
And that's when I knew that anyone trying to tell me any different than what I feel is the real deal that I would sit back and conceal my found secrets of true love
I'm in love because its with you
It's not measured by the things that you do or the gifts that you bring
Forget about the cash in your wallet or the thought of a diamond ring
It's not about material things but how you make my soul blush and my heart sing
Loving you has no monetary gain
I'm in love for the sake of being in love
Willing to take my place as the woman by your side to the extent that individuality will no longer divide
When your heart bleeds my insides cry
And while some will wonder why I'm so attached to an emotion that can deceive
I'll look at the man of my dreams and whisper
"He helped me believe."
