Excessively Enough

EXCESSIVELY ENOUGH I must admit it took me quite some time and maybe too long to see and realise how much the world is wrong! But now that I do, I am never going to let anyone, anything or any situation pull me away from the fact that I am *ENOUGH* and strong! I am overly conceited, The color of my skin is a perfect match for that of my brown eyes and my curly afro hair. I am black and beautiful in every single way! My smile is exactly how its supposed to be, the size of my feet carries my body in the most beautiful way, everything on my body is exactly how its supposed to be. I am an open book, too emotional, artistic, triple competition for my fears, sarcastic and unbothered about anything that doesn't move me, mysterious and continuously looking for answers... I am a thinker, I love hard, fall in too deep, patiently impatient, unashamed and not afraid of the truth. Failed so many times but got back up again. I am full of glitter but not make-believe to the fact that I sometimes glimmer, I am restless and calm, forgiving and tolerant. I am a woman, my heart is not hurt proof, been broken before and am not afraid. I am going straight in, and leaving with a bang! Without a doubt, I am overwhelming and protecting, sarcastic and caring, leaving no chance for failure. I admit that I sometimes maybe most times self meditate with pain and tears, with pervading my life with solitude and aloneness. I get selfish with the love I have for myself... I am a lover of darkness, It brings out the sparkle from the stars up in the skies and a feeling of calmness. A mean cup of tea, someone staying up late with me to talk about real life situations, music and laughter. I am young, wild and searching, broken and imperfect but completely beautiful and aware that... I have been through it all and I am EXCESSIVELY ENOUGH.
