Yes! I'm a Woman!

Yes! I’m a Woman!
Can’t you see?
Some have tried to
Condemn, assault, and
Violate me
Yes! I’m a Woman!
And I wear it well
Every curve, line, and sway
Of my body has a story
To tell

Yes! I’m a Woman!
Phenomenally
Able to withstand your taunts
Abuses, blind hatred
And jealousy
My Talents are many
As any Woman’s, by far
I’m that intangible-touchable
That beaming and
Wondrous star

So, Yes! I’m a Woman
As you can clearly see
Please stand back and allow
A few more minutes while I
Celebrate the Woman in me
Blessed with the Power to heal
With my own two hands
Equal in strength, ability
and intellect
To any man

Yes! I’m a Woman
Isn’t it grand?
Independent, intelligent
Delectable and high
In demand
All of this is True
As any truth can be
For there is no greater gift
Than to be a Woman
No greater gift, indeed

I Love Being Black

My I LOVE being black. I love being a black woman. My ass, my lips, my nose, my hair, everything about being black I love. I will deal with the racism, the stereotypes the history and pain. The struggles of being black in America toady. I will do it all with my head held high. I am a Nubian Queen a true woman of this earth. I will not wear contacts to lighten my eyes or brighten my hair with dyes so that I fit into the Europeanized standard of beauty, I will not become ass-less so that I am considered fine, by model critics, I refuse to get lypo on my thick thighs so that I can wear those short ass shorts that were made for white woman b/c my ass is too plump and juicy to be concealed my the minute amount of fabric!

DAMN I love being black! No matter what negative and deceiving stereotypes and ideas that media displays about black people, no matter what ignorant mind set others have about black people I am today devoting my life to changing these things. I can no longer turn my back on what is so obviously evident, that us Black Americans are still enslaved by a system that does not chain our wrists but rather our minds. It does not whip our backs but rather beats our true culture from within in us. I today vow to give all the knowledge that over the years I have been soaking up. I have sat back and watched my brother fall prey to what the TV tells him is beautiful, I have let my self fall prey to letting things go that I should have spoken up for. But today I say, NO MORE!! I will teach my children, I will teach my man, and I will teach my friends all that I can. I will give my all and speak up about it.

Peace

Any day of the week I'd rather be at peace with myself than to worry about everyone else.When you have a peaceful mind, your surroundings become more peaceful and your heart becomes at ease with the world. Worry doesn't tempt you and stress is out the door, cause God is your surrounding and you have no need for anything more!

Transition

As most people may know me, they know that i am different! Not in a weird way but a bi polar way! lol yes i said i am bi polar and yes i am. No need to be ashamed of it because i know how to control myself. Just don't press the wrong button! Well anyways i started something new... my hair! I decided to go natural and as my journey continues i will post updates about my achievements! Soooo FYI many updates to come! 

See Ya Later!

Black Beauty

Skin wonderful shades of brown
 shades of butter pecan,
walnut, mahogany, honey roasted
and a little coffee ground...
honey kissed and sun glistened
skin that's a visual treat
making that chocolate man take a seat
my skin is a natural part of me
part of my natural beauty
inside and out of me
that completely surrounds, see
it's the presence of my Black Beauty...
Braided hair or barely there
however I like to wear it.
Wear it down or wear it up
if I decide to pin it
my hair is a natural part of me
part of my natural beauty
inside and out of me
that completely surrounds, see
it's the presence of my Black Beauty...
My breasts are round,
just my size
enough to make my man's nature rise
and catch others by surprise
my breasts are a natural part of me
part of my natural beauty
inside and out of me
that completely surrounds, see
it's the presence of my Black Beauty...
My intelligence is a mystery
to those who don't consider me
of a class to progressively
interact in my community
but...
my intelligence is a natural part of me
part of my natural beauty
inside and out of me
that completely surrounds, see
it's the presence of my Black Beauty.

"To Those Of My Sisters Who Kept Their Naturals"

Sisters!

I love you.
Because you love you.
Because you are erect.
Because you are also bent.
In season, stern, kind.
Crisp, soft-in season.
And you withhold.
And you extend.
And you Step out.
And you go back.
And you extend again.
Your eyes, loud-soft, with crying and with smiles,
are older than a million years,
And they are young.
You reach, in season.
And All
below the rich rouch right time of your hair.
You have not bought Blondine.
You have not hailed the hot-comb recently.
You never worshipped Marilyn Monroe.
You say: Farrah's hair is hers.
You have not wanted to be white.
Nor have you testified to adoration of that state
with the advertisement of imitation
(never successful because the hot-comb is laughing too.)
But oh the rough dark Other music!
the Real,
the Right.
The natural Respect of Self and Seal!
Sisters!
Your hair is Celebration in the world!

~Soror Gwendolyn Brooks

Your Natural Beauty

Please lift your head my little pearl
Don't think that you are plain
For she is just an ordinary girl
Whose words can dish out pain

You have a beauty not many hold
A pearl with a radiant shine
Gentle, quiescent - never bold
One pure hearts see as divine

She is beautiful to many it's clear
For this system pushes her beauty as true
Causing young girls their self-image to fear
Their natural beauty they eschew

Wispy and delicate as snowflakes that fall
Is your natural beauty untainted
So don't listen to her berating call
For she's just polished and painted

I Thought of You Today

I thought of you today,
and said to myself...
What did i see in you
Why didn't i see past the pain
I thought of you today,
and said to myself...
No more foolishness
It's all about me
I thought of you today,
and said to myself...
For love is not love
until you learn to love yourself
I thought of you today,
and said to myself...
My God loves me unconditionally
and will never leave nor forsake me
I thought of you today,
and said i did better...
because i found a love and a void
which i have been looking for
my whole life
I thought of you today,
and said to every man...
For you who seeks me,
will seek my God first
and then will find me!!!

Transformed (I am woman) continued

I am that woman
My sister's keeper indeed
Come to me with whatever
And whatever it is you need
I will love you
Even if you don't love me
My compassion will be stronger
Than anything that will ever be

I am what God made me
To love and protect my brother
To secure his future in college
And to show him there is another way

I am a woman
A provider and a friend
I will ask you what you want
And be there til the end!

I am a woman of purpose!
I am a woman on purpose!!

Transformed (I am woman)

I am what God made me
A woman of His Word
I humble myself completely
Because i know what i am
I serve in His graciousness
And live by His Word
No longer will i be labeled
By a so called man's world

I am a proverbs woman
The woman God created me to be
Putting my family first
And serving my man to see
That while serving him i am
influencing him to serve God

I want to be that woman
To fit in with your plan
For then if you refuse to listen
When i talk about the Lord
You will be won by my respectful pure behavior
My Godly life will speak better than any words

For Man is not of the Woman
But the Woman of the Man
Neither was Man created for the Woman
But the Woman for the Man (1 Cor 11:8-9)

I am a Woman
And a mother to be
I will not leave my children
Neglect or abuse thee
My children are my heart
My soul and my all
To give them the knowledge and purpose
So they will not fall

I am a Woman of purpose
I am a Woman on purpose!!

~To be Continued~

Me

When I look into your eyes
I see the soul beneath
The pain and the suffering
That has been hidden oh so deep

When I see that precious smile
I wonder what's behind it
What are you really thinking about?
Will I ever get to see it?

Your attitude, it moves me
The way that you carry yourself
I know how you hold up
Even through all the pressure

I love the way you think
It makes me wonder why
The love I have for you
I promise it will never die

Your love is unconditional
I can see it in your eyes
You have so much to give away
I wonder why anyone hasn't already tried?

Your kindness can be taking for weakness
But you won't let it get that far
For you have something precious
Far more than any material things can buy!

You are my everything
My best friend you are indeed
I can tell you anything
And come to you when I'm in need

I love you more than anything
I tell you that all the time
No one else can even compare
Girl you finer than a dime!!(Lol)

The words that I write in this poem
come from time and energy
I can't deny this anymore
I'm simply in love with me!!

There are no weak women here

There Are No Weak Women Here


I was feeling you.......pretty much
from the heat in your stare
to the glide in your touch
and your dialect
had conversations with my intellect
and I did not object
to the flow of any subject
even the ones that made you erect
but let me interject something
correct something
there are no weak women here


you see the last brotha that tried to play me for fool
wasn't fully aware of the 'ain't no fools here' rule
and he ended up drowning in a self-made
pool of stupidity
are you feelin' me?
come to this with only one expectation
I'm not lookin for fake love jones situations
I just have this infatuation
with brotha's who can bring mental stimulation
and that's because
there are no weak women here


understand that good wine and a fast car
can only get you so far
and it's not good to drink and drive
because you are DWI
Dealing With Intelligence
so check yo'self before you wreck yo'self
'cuz I mastered games as a child
so make this worth my while
('cuz i'm GROWN)
come to me with some style
overdose on some class
don't just try waxin' the ***
cuz i'm not yo' ride
and without breakin' my stride
I will read, write, and erase you~~
all with one look
because,
there are no weak women here


don't take this the wrong way
I'm not trying to say
that i'm too good
i'm just too good for games
and played out playa names (like boo)
and played out playa skills
I pay my own **** bills
so I don't want your loot
'cuz robbin' brotha's blind ain't cute
I have no need, nor the desire
to set any of your **** on fire
I just want to be able to fly higher
with a man who is down---to the wire
who is not afraid of a strong mind
who is not afraid of emotions, any kind
who is not afraid of strong woman visions
or a woman who makes strong woman decisions
a man who can let a strong woman cry
and not mistake the tears from her eyes
as a sign of weakness
admire her uniqueness
and when he steps to her, he'll step to her strong
'cuz he knows any other way would be wrong
because.......

there are no weak women here

My back is strong, my heart is big, my attitude is tough, but I am truly humbled!

I love when love is not returned, though it may be from a distance your still in my heart, 

for the good that has brought us together has also torn us apart. 

My heart still sings but with a softer tone, my smile still shines but is not often shown, 

that sparkle that was once in my eyes are. 

Still there but step a little close and these they will reveal, my fears my hurt my pain my struggle, 

though you may not notice.

Cause you do not care, but the hurt that's inside is just that...

there, it's my motivation, progression, my imagination, that pushes me beyond my limit

Spiritual Liberation

Break free from the pain 
Let go of depression
Release yourself from 
Thoughts of suppression

Don't pay any mind
To what doesn't matter
Rejoice in your future
Drown senseless clatter

Have faith in yourself
Just call upon courage
To help see you through
Those moments of bondage

Allow yourself freedom
And stillness will follow
True joy will replace
All needless sorrow

It's been said once before
That scars are reminders
Of where we've been
And all that's behind us

Yet we musn't allow
The pains of our past
Free reign to lead us
Down the wrong path
