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.
