Mar 2010
I lie my head upon my pillow
I think of this imaginary fellow
I have faith he is coming my way
Unbecoming thoughts I need to keep at bay
It is so easy to feel not good enough
My looks compared to society is tough
Because inner beauty no longer means much
Nobody understands a compassionate touch
Clothes more expensive than our rent
I think people have become a litte bent
No longer does the world shoot from the heart
We worry more what is on the wall for art
Children being taught so young to model
Plastic parents those we do need to throttle
We are teaching beauty is only skin deep
Pop a few more pills it will help you be sleek
My fellow he will stop inside and see
The difference between them and me
That nothing else in this life will matter
Nor in this world will he ever feel battered
He will forever know I am a gift from above
I will wash his feet in the purest love
My man will know my heart can never be sold
He seeks with me a true passion to unfold
Spirit sought this soul to mirror only mine
Knowing our unity in this heaven will be divine
Reflections of love within our beautiful eyes
Our souls are bare no need to be in disguise
He knows I will never think to close the door
It will not matter whether we are rich or poor
There is no better place for him to be
Than coming home to be with me
So as I close my eyes to go to sleep
I send him the sweetest dreams to keep
Until he is once again within my arms
Flames from our fire setting off the alarms
So I may never be a pretty barbie doll
Nor do I love to go shopping at the mall
But I see the beauty in the smallest things
Angels gave unto me the truest music to sing
For my words will only be spoken to the one
Who is willing to live in the warmth of my sun
