LITTLE BLACK GIRL
Written By: Famekia Dingle
Little black girl hold your head high,
Don’t look down and let life’s joys pass you by.
You are one of My Father’s creations,
Beautiful and Strong
Don’t you ever let this world steer you wrong.
Stand up straight baby ebony, Stick your chest out,
Walk like you have gold minds diggin in your back yard.
Be proud of who you are and from where you come,
Believe me little black girl God don’t make no mistakes.
Don’t listen to the evil they say or
Allow the wicked they do to stop you.
Cause when you smile the heavens open and that’s a fact.
Go ahead let them hate you for that
Gods got your back.
Don’t think it strange when love passes you and gently lifts your chin,
Little black girl hold your head high
With God you’re sure to win.

Famekia Dingle Poem
Come on sit down relax,
let me take you on a ride.
We're gonna dig way down deep inside.
Inside you, inside me,
now isn’t that gonna be a treat.
I wanna explore all the places we've been before
Come on don’t you be afraid,
I’ve got a lot of skeletons, but I’ll be brave.
We need this to understand where to go,
Cause I’m tired of waiting on the right time.
Let’s go
Let’s go
Inside you, inside me,
inside the way we ought to be
now isn’t that gonna be a treat.
I know you’re scared of what we might find.
Don’t worry we’ll do it together
One step at a time.
I know it’s gonna hurt,
I know we’re gonna want to lie,
But we have to get through this honestly
to get to the other side.
Where our journey will end up, only God knows,
But as long as we stick together we are sure to grow.
Let’s go
Let’s go
Inside you, inside me,
inside the way we ought to be

Famekia Dingle Poem
Wanting more
Striving for my goals
In this world so loud and cold.
Where will I turn?
What shall I hold on to?
When will the silver lining come to my cloud?
The Lord above help me
I need you
Guide my steps cause I don’t know what to do!
I need your love daily to be patient with me.
Cause you’re the only one who can rescue me.
I need your guidance, everyday so that your spirit will guide me successfully the
right way.
I need you to come to me daily in physical flesh
So that I can feel loving arms of tenderness.
I try to be all you ask but I fail daily miserably,
I try to walk in your plan, but the load is sometimes so heavy.
Is it enough to just keep striving or am I at some point to be or not to be.
That’s my question?

Famekia Dingle Poem
When you look at me who and what do you see?
shifting winds, turning tides that calm down gracefully.
When my hand touches yours what is it that you feel?
the earth move beneath your feet, is this really real
When i stare into your eyes what does the picture show?
the moon, the stars, and how much we'll grow.
When i ask myself the answers to the questions at hand, oddly
in my mind I see a man.
Waiting for someone to take his hand, to hold, to not let go.
he is whispering in the wind let me show u the ropes.
Who is the man in my mind that i see? Oh shoot he's just the other side
of me.

The Other Me
Written By: Famekia Dingle
Within me we correspond
About the simple ways I go about my day.
Sometimes you stop me to say
Good job, well done, and you did great
Often you’ll wake me up with a song
And it will keep me going all day long.
I feel sometimes like maybe I’m crazy
It seems as if no one understands me.
Not you, you never let me down,
you’re always my friend
No matter what I do you’re there till the end.
You have given me comfort in my loneliest time.
You’ve been there even when I didn’t have a dime.
You’ve built me up where I was not strong
You’ve walked with me my whole life long.
If I didn’t know any better or if I tried to pretend
I would have to say you are another person within.
Walking, Breathing, Eating, Sleeping, and Thinking
Just as I do
But we won’t tell anyone
Let’s keep that between me and you.

Famekia Dingle Poem
Let me break this down so you can understand; you forgot to love me! When we
met u did all these sweet things like opened doors, gave me flowers, you knew
how to touch my heart with your words and in actions, now you only feel my flesh
that’s not love. You use to sit on the phone with me all night long and we would
find all kinds of things to talk about. We would discuss the future, our dreams,
our goals, and the way we saw ourselves in ten years later. Then, I thought how
lucky I must be to have someone like you to be interested in me, but now I think I
may have made a mistake in loving you, because you forgot to love me. How I
wish I could give you the wheel and let you drive the car of our life together, but
that is just a dream for me, because you don’t have a very good sense of
responsibility. It’s so frustrating having to wear a skirt over the pants in our
relationship. When I look at you I see this strong, intelligent, trustworthy, and
responsible husband as well as dedicated father, but if you don’t see any good
in yourself how can it ever be. I know you are not use to anyone telling you how
great you really are, but I have been trying all these years to build your confidence
in yourself and I just don’t know how to get through to you. Sometime I just want a
little passion, romance maybe. I want you to feed my ego sometimes, make me
feel like a woman who’s man loves and cherishes her. Not just a piece of flesh
to get a moment of pleasure. I want a man who is going to do everything it takes
to satisfy my body as well as my mind. That means he would have to know what I
like to feel, how I like to feel and when I have had enough. When you can get to
the point where you know me maybe things would be better between us, but until
u start taking the time to get to know me and how to please, me I am not going to
be happy physically or mentally with our relationship. I need for you to take your
time and focus on my pleasure and then I can go back to focusing on yours. It
does not seem to matter to you that you are leaving room for improvements. I’m
also noticing that you are becoming more and more aggressive when you talk
and touch me. You act like you don’t know, but you know perfectly well I’m not
happy but you are to proud to admit you don’t know how to fix it and ask for help. If
you would just put down your pride and selfishness you would see what has
been in front of you all these years. LOVE!

Famekia Dingle Poem
Sight do you have it?
To open your eyes, your mind, your very being.
Seeing
What is it?
that you see; I mean do you just glimpse
or is it a peering gaze that is needed
to get you through the maze.
Now what is it that this sight,
has represented for you.
Is it just a dream that seems unreachable,
or is it an aspiration you climb towards diligently.
Sought
As for me my spirit shows me infinity
It allows me the strength to peer into eternity.
and that is more than enough to climb diligently.

Famekia Dingle Poem
No Shoes On
Written By: Famekia Dingle
Sun rays shinning down, can’t believe what is found.
Tucked away in a corner so nice, calling for help twice then thrice.
People passing on the street, never even noticing who they meet.
Right there by your feet, a child asking for something to eat.
No one listens, no one hears.
The call of a neglected child eyes full of tears.
Then the rain begins to fall, the worn little body curled into a ball.
Wishing for a little love, for someone to give a little grub.
As the rain gets even harder, it seems as if the pains grow stronger.
Know tearing at stomach lining, a little voice says come on with perfect timing.
Calming the hunger of the belly, the voice has a perfect setting.
Ready to trap, anxious to win, taking all innocence within.
How many passed and wouldn’t stop
How many wouldn’t even flag down a cop.
Now it’s too late, to far gone is the child with no shoes on

Famekia Dingle Poem
A simple kiss
A sweet embrace
The loving look on your face
Is all so far away?
You want me to love you
Yet you are so far away
Is it so hard to show?
Is it so hard to grow?
Inside you
If I were to leave
And to find all I seek
In someone else what would I be?
Would you see me as unjust and hate me
I’m not happy now because the love I seek is yet unfound in the
What has to happen?
What must I do to have you show me a love that is true?
Wanting to feel
Wanting to heel
Wanting a love full a flavor and zeal
Is this to much I ask
Is this unrealistic
Is the loving feeling I seek just a dream
Somebody tell me
Somebody help me what should I do
I feel as if I am falling out of love with you.

Famekia Dingle Poem
What is this nature of mine?
Genetically pass from my Father to me
Deeply rooted in my bloodline history.
What is this beauty I see?
Off in the distance but still as far as the eye can see
What is this that’s clear to me?
Beauty in the eye of the beholding one indefinitely.
How is it that I know what I know they say?
Where does the answering of the questions go once they
take place inside my soul.
Can you see it when you look in my face?
Or is it always absent with out a trace.
Does the way that I walk speak for me?
Or is it that you are trying to find me out desperately
Why do you trouble yourself with pondering?
When all the answers are right there fully blown
Bright and bold or is it that your eyes are to tightly closed.
