Taste the sweetness of the skin I am in     Overly intimidating to all That sees me     The nappiest hair that I am oh so proud to wear     The softest lips that the average man can bear     Piercing eyes with a deathly stare     Love me for who I am     Instead of the skin that I am currently in     The heart is the home yes it’s that     No matter what is said the truth is where it’s at     Soak me so I am tender     Lioness of this land Untamed I am     Undress me with your eyes     Dress me with your words     The state of being is much more than a verb     I’ve seen many things and I’ve walked many miles     The place that I am at only makes me smile     Age I am a baby but I’ve lived so long     I’ve seen it all mind so strong     To love is to fall in love with yourself     Love it, Learn it, Embrace it     You’ll soon find out it’s much more valuable than wealth
