Hello Stranger

Hello there ! Black or white A mixture of yellow or green Blue eyes or thick lips May be Short or tall ,fat or slim A blend of Asian or Caucasian African or wherever you from, Do you bleed? Is your blood red ? Do you breathe? Hello there Do you still cry when the lights are off ? Does your blood pressure soar in the dark ? I guess you a grown up now, a muchacho with a buoyant forehead . Hello there Forget their phoney comments You are a queen, believe it ,live it. Hey you skinny with bulging eyes You curvy with thick lips You are Pretty . Hello there You look gorgeous in those native prints Radiant in the purple scarf You allure in those blue jeans Elegant in the wooden slippers and dazzling Afro beads . Hello there Your breathe smell like soursop do u mind a peck on my cheeks ? I don't care about the lipstick stain. Hello there I love the gap in between your teeth It's really beautiful What do u call it in your language ? Hello there Is your hair natural ? Your locks are amazing , long and pristine Hey there, I love your fro! Too bad i have gone bald at age 25 But hey my head shines bright like a diamond doesn't it? Hello there I saw you in a sea of faces Your wore veil with a coloured kente Walking in the sunshine as the daisies flamboyantly fall beneath your feet. Hello there can I poke my hands in your ribs Can I tickle you a bit ? Gosh! there's a hole in your cheeks whenever you laugh! it's really pretty. Is it a dimple? Hello there Your knowing smile just breaks me down I love your braids And your fat cheeks They bring me so much joy Hello there There's something about your thick lips and droopy eyes It puts the twinkling stars to shame each night Can I borrow them? Hello there Can I kiss your forehead for motivation each morning ? Can I call you when am down ? Would you sing for me even if your voice is bad? Hello there you are perfectly created Flawless! I admire your courage and zeal Your humility and confidence Your Godliness and your selflessness. Hello there I've you in my poems I love your name I learnt it's of a Queen who fought oppression Hello there You are fearfully and wonderfully made A perfect work of God's creation Don't ever force to fit in Never try to achieve that superficial image portrayed in media. Hello there Just be you ,Blossom in your uniqueness Down the media perceptions Distort the unrealistic images in your head You are beautiful the way you are ! Hello stranger You are unique just like everyone Appreciate the similarities, Accept the differences .
