I Feel I Am Beautiful

Sometimes I feel as if I’m the tarnished essence of what’s beautiful
the darkest loneliest of soul’s
treasured by what’s between my legs
thick thighs rising to my kinked curled rose garden secret
distorted by drunken thoughts of a passionate moment
never longer than time’s lingering journey

Shameful is the way I’m viewed

I am not her;
his tomorrow his forever
his wife
nor the womb that bears his namesake
for eyes travel past who I am
a woman flawed beautiful by nature
I cannot become darker than the blackness of your opinions
short twisted nappy hair
elegantly accentuating the fullness of my lips
I feel I am beautiful
but I’ve been colored longer than I’ve been alive
a shade darker than my mother
two shades darker than my sister
and alone

Shameful is the way I’m viewed

I am opinioned attractive
born on the eve of a new generation
completed by an older one
destined by the point at which they meet
I am
beautiful dark
reaching for sunlight

reaching
reaching
reaching

Shameful is the way I’m viewed

Dig this and I can relate....good one...

What MzEm said...I can so relate as well, but if you saw me you would think HUH...?...lol...

reaching within the deepest of your soul and see the beauty that is all around as you encounter a new journey and travel of your time you watch the nature come alive all over again as the beauty of the colors shows there way as tomorrow is just another day, never feel ashamed of who your not, as your soul of beauty is who you are

Very Nice writing as well as deep. :)

Thank you all . . . Ok, I'm blushing right about now. It's nice to know that what is within you has the ability to reach others.
