She births poetry like a universe of constellations.
Sometimes,
she parts her lips like the hips of the woman about to bring magic into this world, the labour of her poetry is never easy, never smooth, difficult to stomach, but the words she births from her belly carry life like breath, like the fruit of the earth.
There is a beautiful pain to them.

-Nativity

Other times,
Her poetry was like good ***,
She parted her lips like the legs of a woman about to begin the most primitive form of Love, giving as much as she could take. Sometimes she would ride the poetry, reverse cowgirling it to the ****** of her ecstasy and other times, it would ride her,
Leaving its essence inside her.

-Inception

At one time,
She parted her lips like the mouth of a woman who is about to blow, your mind.
Never for her pleasure, it did nothing for her.
Her satisfaction lied solely in yours,
it was selfless, unselfish, an act of true altruism.
She broke for people, who loved people but did not love her.

-Misconception

But the first time,
She was the poetry, being birthed from the lips of the cradle of woman kind, the first time she was the magic, the life, taking her first breath, her first wisp of earth,
And it smelt like words that bleed, that change, that make love, that celebrate, that birth other words.
The first time she was the poetry, so the poetry became her.

Thoughts are acid
They burn through your scalp
Leaving holes in your brain
Holes that echo persistent pesky whispers
That drive you insane

People vandalize me like a school desk
Engraving their ****** words on my skin without realizing that those words they leave are permanent
Prominent
For the world to see
Those words become how I'm perceived

dragging their scissors across my skin
Carving in their heartless words
Without realizing those words
Are salt in my wounds

Black girl scared of her own image,
Her own reflection
When she looks in the mirror she sees imperfection,
So she looks the other direction
Black girls mind is full of misperceptions

Bleaching her skin so she can be white enough
Straightening her hair cause white hair ain't tough
But all her efforts are never good enough

Black girl you're too loud
Black girl you're so ratchet
Black girl don't make a sound
Black girl just shut it

But loud is not ratchet
Boldness is simply passion
For you're voice, black girl
Is the voice of generations who
Were subjected to oppression

They have tried to keep you quiet
They have tried to **** you and your pride
But black girl you haven't died
Black girl you're still alive
Black girl take full stride

Scrutinized about her lips
But Kylie gets praised
Scrutinized about her hips
But plastic surgeons get paid
To have that silicon made for the  kardashians to put on display. Along with their "boxerbraids"

Correction
Their called cornrows
So I'm sorry if you were under the impression
That the style is Kim kardashians invention
But It was Worn by slaves and others all through out oppression
As a form of self expression
Only made possible through the hands of a true magician


Black girl you are magic
But that doesn't mean you don't feel
Black girl you are real
So don't conceal all your ebony appeal

Dark eyes, thick thighs we don't have to apologize
Don't listen to the world and it's lies

Whether dark,light, or mixed racial
Your skin, your hair and your soul
Are beautiful
Black girl they don't see you're value
And they won't until you do

They have tried to keep you quiet
They have tried to **** you and your pride
But black girl you haven't died
Black girl you're still alive
Black girl take full stride

Black girl power
Not just black girl hour
Black girl this is your time
Black girl rise up and shine
Black girl get in formation
Take control of the situation
Demand the attention of the entire nation
Because everything about you is captivating


Black girl you are a queen
You don't need sunscreen
For You're skin was made to be sheer butter or as rich as coffee beans
I'm sorry it's beauty goes unseen

Whether dark,light, or mixed racial
Your skin, your hair and your soul
Are beautiful
Black girl they don't see you're value
And they won't until you do
For one thing is true
They only envy everything ebony about you

A lonely flower in glass vase
No longer lonely
It's covered in bees who come and go as they please
She gives them everything and more
But that's not enough
They drain her of her fragrance
They drain her of her aura
But she continues to give them more
Until she has nothing to give at all
They leave her to die
A lonely flower in a glass vase

Her feelings tore through her soul like a hurricane
So she stopped feeling to keep them at bay
But Being numb only brought her more pain
