I Dont Want To Be Too Strong

A black woman is taught to be strong resilient, humble and preserved "It is okey" "It gonna be alright" Is the line of every storm. You see its beautiful to be bold not to pour every time it gets a little cold its cool if you can reserve all those conflicting emotions you have going on be poised and proud. That's right am a black woman super strong at that but am tired of having to be brave all the time. I don't want to be scared of hurt i want it to be alright should i choose to cry i don't want to be of perfect mind all the time i want to be and not mind being wrong sometimes . I don't want to be too strong to you or i for you and i I don't want to be too strong not to fight you or i for you and i. Am done being okey when i am far from okey. i want to be okey if i ain't okey sometimes. So don't switch off the phone i might decide to apologize after five don't close those arms i might need you to hold me tight don't lock the door i might be coming back home tonight. Baby am done being okey without you and i.
