Atraction

Attraction As race is concerned Beauty lies within Buried beneath the surface The stick figure The petite The full figured And well rounded The dreaded The bald headed Of body Of mind Of soul Of pride Nothing changes my perception I am my own version of beauty of self Attraction , repulsion I’ll tell me about myself And show me who I am Rise up And speak for myself I wear a crown And that’s enough My own validation is sufficient A journey of exploration From pressed To permed To weaved To coarse kinks Love and guidance Confidence and comfort -ability Take possession and accountability Life reimagined I stepped outside and felt free A dove flew over me Walk with my head held high The sun soothes my skin Embracing my melanin My hair deserves to command the room Marckincia Jean Free verse 09/04/19
