I think of you everyday, but especially today, four sets of hands and feet that belonged to me,6 months of strength built into my body, you were mine and I would have died to protect you and chased the stars to give them to you if you had asked me. My life was gone when yours left, I wanted you so badly, and helplessly I stood by and watched you exit from my body and life forever and if I could I would've given you the air that filed my own lungs. I wanted to hold on to those sets of hands and feet for dear life, I wanted to protect you keep you for myself and be what I was supposed to be for you, your mommy, your safety, your protector, your provider, offering you unconditional love when you felt that the world was at odds with you. I always have fantasies and dreams of what could have been, how the two of you have grown, and you were so beautiful, my heart kissed the clouds when I felt that first kick, and I would die to live all over again to experience the short time that I spent with you, naming you the perfect names, anticipating what type of joy that you can bring into my life. I was in love and When I kissed your face it felt like the last kiss that I would ever give because I wanted to die with you but I survived, and I am here left with memories and fantasies of children that made me grow up so fast and be the woman that I am today, and although I may not have experienced you, I am grateful for the pleasure of carrying two of the most precious children that God could have given Jordan Elijah, & Jasmine Micaiah, my world changed when I knew that I would have you, and I let you flood my heart like two beautiful raging rivers. I will let you go but you will never escape from my heart, and I will always remember the six months that we shared

Offensively beautifulI am so sorry that my black skin offends you so much. My full lips and thick thighs are to you a distraction, and leave so little to your imagination, even when I am not trying to be sexy. And you imitate the way that my hips sway. You can hear my name in the clouds where Kings and Goddesses roam, with winds that are mighty enough to destroy oppression. Can you hear the sweet melodies of freedom? An empty light has been lit with a sleeping dragon's fire. Who do we sing and dance to? My hips sway to the music of my ancestors, and you are dying to be me. You, who mimics my movements and tries to sway your hips to the wind, the way that mine can. I'm sorry that my brown sugar kissed skin offends you, my hips are as wide as mountains, my complexion is honey kissed, and my lips are full, yeah you crave to be me. And I offend you so much, that you can't help but to desire me. Wagging those oppressive finger... |

VOICEI will make noise because I am here & I have discovered my worth. There is only so much that a person can take before they say.. ENOUGH! ENOUGH! ENOUGH! I have had enough and I WILL MAKE NOISE BECAUSE I. AM. HERE! And I have discovered me and my own worth. I will dance, I will SCREAM! I WILL SHOUT from the roof tops because I AM HERE! And I will make noise. I was afraid because I had lost myself. I was so deep into you that my being began to dissolve and I smothered my own voice, and I drowned my own dreams with you. I took pieces of everything that I was and morphed them into you, muffling my own voice, and I could not scream, and I could not shout….and I could not fight. I could only be broken into silence, and you; you loved me because I was weak. But when I remembered my voice, when I remembered my worth, then I realized how much noise that I can make. Feelings should not be stomped on, trampled on, or swept under the rug. They should be carefully handled, remember... |
