Give me my soda, I won't ask you twice

My days aren't always great,

Sometimes I may run late

December 13, 2013
591 days have passed since
A Queen released her self-titled album
I am a perfectionist with a capital P. Let down if I get less or equivalent to a B, because I want to be the best that I can be, and yet, I can never seem to keep my room clean for more than a week...
When I look in the mirror, who do I see?
A beautiful black girl with,
A smooth queenly head, dark and lovely, held high, glimmering with
Fierceness,
Pride, and
Innate awesomeness.
When they ask me why I shaved my head
I say “because I was tired of my hair”
I was tired from the experiences curled up in each lock.
Because when I woke up this morning, the first thing I did WASN'T to look in the mirror.
Because before I left this moning, the first thing I DIDN'T do was focus on what I am not.
Stupid, Ugly, Scared,
That is all I saw
Looking at the sasquatch
Staring back from the wall.
Why am I not intelligent?
Why am I not beautiful?
As I move once again
to a new state.
I hold on
to all the memories
Willingfully
I go
with a heavy heart
but hopeful spirits.
Now I say to myself,
What do you see when you see me?
long round face
penetrating brown eyes
long nose slightly crooked
Woman Wrapped in Self-Confidence
I am a woman wrapped in self-confidence
A crown of wisdom placed upon my brow
A heart of wonder laced with tenderness
Tall I stand against all resistance.
I am a ripple
on a calm still lake
i am a pimple
on a perfect face
i am imperfection
in a perfect world
i am the insecurity
in a beautiful girl.
but i am me
never anyone else
Being a teenager I am to get judged and put down
My self-esteem is expected to decrease to the lowest level
My head is not supposed to be held high
And my feet should be dragging heavily behind me
Me, I think I’m average, not perfectAverage guy, with average grades.Pretty average situation...But then I stop. Average? No.Perfect? No.
Have pure confidence
Walk tall and strong
Speak up against negativity
Sing regardless; just most according to my feelings
Love past blemishes and
Give past pain I feel, no matter who gave it to me
I am beautiful
Something I'll never change
The way I look in the mirror
How my eyes catch everyone's attention
How I can make everyone laugh
When I don't even wanna smile
I know all the right words
carmel skin that'll make ya knees weak -thats flawless
thick hips, lips and thight -thats flawless
small waist with a cute -thats flawless
southern draw real strong -thats flawless
When the term "Hearty Chuckle" comes to mind
One might think of a large lumberjack eating a pork rind
I woke up in this body
Without any glamour whatsoever
Loving myself forever
Without idolized beauty
Sounding a little bit loopy
I woke up in this pattern
Without a round tootie
When I was a child I wanted to fly
I would squeeze my eyes closed and try:
it always went awry.
Although you can clearly see my physical beauty; well most you…..some of you might.
But real gentlemen say my best features and sensational beauty is out of sight!
I wake up, silence. The earth applauds. My very life-meaningful. It has a cause. I breathe, I feel. I am existing. Lights, cameras, who needs them? I make myself who I am. Fame and glory? Just words overused. Respect is the real reward.
A woman so amazing, Perfect in every way, With such a beautiful smile, That can lighten up any man
Not perfect. Not by any means.
Just walking with a purpose to fulfill my dreams.
I stride with these small steps. Pride in every breath.
Standing tall at 5foot2. I dare you to ask the question...
"who are you?"
It's not in the way that her hair shines
on a bright sunny day
It's not in the way her body curves
or even how much she weighs
And it's not in the way she dresses herself
Or even the the things she may say
All my life I was told to cover
Who I am
How I speak, act, look
I was told to cover my indviduality
I was told to follow a set of rules
Conform to the world's idea of me
But I shine through
When we're pushed down,
it is by one who has the same Bruises on their knees.
When we're being made a fool,
Sometimes I think about that long summer day with my golden skin and that natural hair I was too comfortable in and I thank myself for allowing me to be free even if it was just me and a mirror in an unconditioned room.
Here I lay, for the third day
The clothes i'm wearing have yet to be washed
My hairs in a bun
My makeup flushed
Having no desire to get up
Here I lay, day after day
I run this, yes G-town.
No don't be scared cause you see this crown.
I'm bossed up with confiedence.
So intelligent, you look pass my radiance.
I'm so knowlegeable, it'll make you feel dumb
My flaws make me flawless
My failures push me to suceed
The struggles I endure
The long nights I sat and watched my wrist bleed
All my flaws pushed me to proceed
On to something better
Don't hide beneath the make-up, embrace the beauty that is natural. The bumps arising that I pop, creating all these dark spots.
Accepting. Powerful. Integrity.
Looking in the mirror these are the words I see in me
I See a Queen
The warmth of her soul equally coheres to the fire in her eyes
I don’t bow down
I stand up straight and proud
Some say it’s an ego
Some call me a diva
Ring the alarm because I don’t care if what I will please ya
I’m a girl on a mission
Girl with a mind
Middle school, 7th grade.
When you think you have everything in the bag, something changes.
It gets taken away, out of know where.
Fearless of any obstacle
Leader of others
Absolutely confident
Waking up ready to take on the world
Learning how to perfect my craft
Excellence at its best
Striving for success
Swagger at its finest
I wake up, #FLAWLESS.
No make-up. Bra-less.
Should I wear jeans, or joggers?
Every morning I go through all this...
20 minutes til I catch the bus,
Eyebrows on FLEEK, hair looking plush,
To wake up like this:
Confident, poised, and care free
Everything my grandmother hoped to live to the day I be
To speak my mind:
Thick thighs, hazel eyes, the voice of an angel.
In her own lane. Makes her own labels.
We see you! We see you!
Bow down bitches! Beyonce coming through.
I am FLAWLESS
When I fall, I am going to rise
I am challenged with many obstacles
And yet I am still just fine
I refuse to fall under a stereotype
Because I am a woman
I am a Diamond, Not a pearl, sapphire or crystal.
I was created from tons of heat and pressure
From this a beauty came about admiration by everyone
I AM FLAWLESS.
Beauty is in the Eyes of Society
Growing up, I was never skinny; my skin was dark and all I wanted was to be pretty.
I was 10; looking at magazines, seeing all of the skinny girls
when I think of the word "Life", I think of a flower.
The seed gets planted, gets water and get shine on by the Earth`s light.
It then gets fed with pain and heart.
Looking into the mirror,
Wiping away the tears.
A new day is ahead
And a new face appears.
No one can see past
The cover that is shown,
But nobody really understands
What is called the unknown.
Everyone is BEAUTIFUL.
FLAWLESS is unattainable;
as is PERFECTION,
GOD is the only being of Perfection.
He created us, in His Image;
So aren't we all Beautiful?
Beauty is measured by your soul,
I used to think that because my legs weren’t
Twig thin
That I was ugly
That no boy would ever find me
Beautiful enough to touch
That no girl would ever think
I was prettier than she was
Society trying
to mislead me
Make me something
I’m not
Or are they
Trying to rip
The veil
In front
of my
blind eyes
To reveal
What I have yet
To see
Sitting, watching, model like girls,
Strut in front of me with tight bouncy curls.
Perfect legs and tiny waists,
Seamlessly flawless face.
I can't help, but judge myself,
I'm not flawless
I'm not perfect
But with my personality,
I promise I'm worth it
I have many talents
Blessed with many gifts
I can't name them all
So, I'll just make a list
The courage to accept being alone
The beauty of knowing it takes time
The strength to know it just you without a clone
Queen B
Queen ME
“To know love is to know pain”
Fall in love
Kiss him
Fulfill his fantasies
Before they turn the lights out
That one love that ripped my heart out
Be strong
Look at me
What do you see?
Young, black, short, mean
Somewhere in between?
I look in the mirror
You know what I see?
A queen
Staring back at me
Not the tallest
The wind of my hair,
My hair on my face,
My face a tint pink
From the weather that does stink.
The snow comes down, down upon my feet
I look up to the sky knowing I will defeat.
I am worth more than a once over,
Do you know how long it takes to look this great?
Sun-kissed skin and raven black hair,
I am unique and I do not need you.
I am not meant to be a secret,
