her

What have I done to you all..

but smile and shine my light for you all to see;

yet still you choose not to.

Only caught up on what you thought I was

refusing to see and believe all there is

 

Disdain and disparity upon me, yet still I see beyond your lies.

Reaching and connoisseur-ing beyond the headlights

– the same ones you get so caught up and busy in the shine,

as you relinquish all that you do not want to feel upon me

Yet still I rise

 

I am alive and well, flourishing and blossoming

just as those you felt depicted me better than me

but none can be, what the lord has ordained

sweet, sexy, fire hot and unrelentless-ly free to be all that she, the black reign,

chooses to be

 

Beyond the disparity of gender and race,

realigned and reconnected

to the whole of her essence

your majesty, beauty full melanin, liquid gold

the queen of soul
