Poem
*Old poem that I forgot I wrote. Haha. I don't think it's as good as the last one I uploaded but I'm behind so here you go* REMEMBER Beauty is a state of mind That envelops mankind And leaves people blind To who they truly are You feel the need to be a superstar Coating your face With waxes and pastes Trying to hide what God took His time to create Your rejection of your perfection Is the neglection of His vision That He instilled upon you Yet you think your life ain’t worth living I got cuts and bruises down my hands and feet I bleed oil spills but I’m still sexy Skin dark as ebony, but I don’t give a **** what you’re telling me Eyes like black holes so they pierce to your soul Your misguided reality Becomes your fatality And your willing abduction Becomes your destruction You isolate yourself in a dark abyss Where you reminisce Over the existence you lead… Yet your hands do not bleed Your shadow doesn’t show On the wall where you sit Whitewashed like your skin Cuz you’re feeling like shit Drugs, gangs, and sex Become your everyday life Cuz it’s all you got left And it’s all that feels right Why must your absence be the cessation of everyone’s existence? And why must everyone’s existence be the reason for your absence? You don’t have to be zero in size With golden-brown eyes For others to notice That you are alive With all your hips and your thighs You will cause their demise With your dark chocolate eyes You will be glorified Remember your name Recognize your existence And when people talk shit Don’t even bother to listen Cuz while others just have beauty You have that…plus your brains You have that…plus your pride And people will know your name While others just give good sex You give good conversation You can strut your stuff And rock the whole nation You don’t need Next Top Model Telling you that you’re fly You don’t need Covergirl To tell you how to get by And you don’t need a man Trying to take control All you need is your mind, heart, body, and SOUL Remember You’re beautiful Remember You’re chill They can say what they want And think what they will He made you with a purpose So go on and live And to all of your haters Forget and forgive… I got cuts and bruises down my hands and my feet I bleed oil spills but I’m still sexy Honey, my skin so dark it puts midnight to shame But I don’t give a **** As long as you remember… MY NAME
