Shoeless and Unrestricted

Became a Stribu model barefooted. One of many but an ordinary person. Wore a shirt from Walmart. A denim skorts from Jcp. My teenage daughter was humiliated. I felt great, forgot my illness, heartaches. Stood proud clothe in my brown skin. Whoever withheld, restricted, am free, though cancer ravishes, I stripped for my child who's ashamed, other who don't know, cannot afford screening, treatment. For the homeless, those who cannot afford. I stood shoeless. Am thankful for all I have, am given. Most importantly for life. My gift to those who are no longer, at the early stages, the end. I stood for you shoeless and unrestricted. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iUa85wtW2aQ/VQL6kpI5mZI/AAAAAAAAAYs/vVoJU2FfS8E/s1600/4b9d47e5bf21e487c35469c10aeaca00.jpg
