skin2SKIN

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
