Paint a portrait of perfection and you'll see many flaws
But cling to an obsession and you can avoid them all
Smudges range from big to small and People range from short to tall
Lies dissolve villages
Eating away it's pilgrimage
The standards of mankind protect what they cannot control
This world will satisfy any curious mind
Divided times
That are slick as ice
Convinced of a perfection they cannot hold

The Pain-Staking Truththe pain-staking truth paints a picture perfect muse in the bombardment of imperfection... truth speaks through true speech; lies shield the portrait... revealing incompletion and lessons that didn't teach... goals are merely dreams... the acts of doing do not remember me... the portrait...aborted... the pain-staking truth painted a picture perfect muse... although the muse felt she didn't deserve it.

Neva Fitted InAll they ever cared about were her cheeks and how they were clappin' without her knowledge. Dark chocolate, juicy booty.. She should've been Judy. Making bets, throwing up sets.. Promising their suriety without knowing.. She was virginitized more than Mary until age 20. She never fitted in beyond her Black skin. Icky innuendos. They thought they had a shot...saying she slept on them because they don't doz But none of them rose to the occassion. Some jumped, but not high enough. The rumors grew. She never fitted in because a 'white woman in a black body' is not that tough. |
