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
