I was black, dark contained and unknown
Hidden in the secretive beauty of my brown.
I reduced myself to ugly,
Hid behind body clothes and
Couldn't walk down the streets.
I was physically and emotionally drained
Yet so brave and kind.
Like a little girl,
I looked myself in the mirror
But all I saw was neglect and fear
I looked again and saw a beautiful,gentle woman,
A new era of a black woman,
a crowned queen!
I am no longer hunted by the scars of my skin.
I am a brave, gentle and kind human
Bad to the bone, intimidating, yet friendly and approachable.
I am As peaceful as birds in the forest singing. More precious than diamond, Gold and Silver.
Petroleum, Mercury and Uranium are nothing more my worth.
A dark woman of strong will, self control and discipline.
my motivation
and
I am a phenomenal woman!
Poet: Foibe Paavo
