Evolution of a Nonconformist

My evolution may not be televised, but it will be read 

and heard by hundreds if not by thousands

it will empower me if no one else

I am a New Millennium Woman

Not defined by tradition or definition

So don't label me

because I can't be bought or sold

I've been called a nonconformist

a rebel

and a militant

marching to the beat of my own drum

living life by my own rules

I am a Queen who knows her place

with or without a King by my side

and I'm ok with that

Now I'm not trying to knock the brothers

because I love yall dearly

but I'm strong enough

liberated enough

and independent enough to know that 

a relationship will not make or break me

This is 2005 and sexuality is no longer

black and black, black and white or man and woman

it's whatever I want it to be

whenever I need it to be

I'm an evolutionist

living in an evolutionary world

with an open mind and a love for people

however I refuse to conform 

to whatever and whomever society thinks I should be

I'm a natural born Artist

forever thinking outside the box

true to my acorn tanned complexion

and my long flowing locks

God Blessed me with the power of words

and the power to form those words so that

others can connect feel and relate

to the passions I feel about life

I've learned a lot and I'm constantly growing

discovering new truths for myself everyday

and the more I grow the more I'll share 

and the more my evolution will become 

our evolution and the greater we all will become.
