Barbara Green Poet Spoken Word

I Wear it, like I Mean It

I WEAR IT, LIKE I MEAN IT


Brim dipped low enough
to make you look twice
high enough to let you
catch the heat in my eyes
This isn't decoration, its declaration.
I wear it like I mean it
I wear like I heart it
I swag it out, add my sauce, and wear it  just like, I like it.

The Brim traces shadows down my cheekbones
across my mouth, resting like it knows it's framing temptation
My posture deepens, My voice lowers
My walk slows into something deliberate
I wear it like I mean it
I wear like I like it
I swag it out, add my sauce, and wear it like just like, I like it.

You really dont know, you haven't been told
being unforgettable is not the goal. Please hear me, queens
I must speak bold.  Sexy isn't noise, Sexy is control.
So when I step into the room, uplifting the gloom.
hat angled, confidence charged
understand, I didn't come to be noticed
I came to be remembered.
 I wear it like I mean it
I wear like I heart it
I swag it out, add my sauce, and wear it like just like, I like it.
