The twinkle of my eye
A stare into the sky
Can you love me?
Why?
God created me and in this I should dwell.
But it is hard for me, can’t you tell?
I look in the mirror and a stranger stares back.
I have never truly seen myself and so in self esteem I lack.
It is hard for me to smile and say that I am okay with me.
I want to see what God can see, what does it mean to be?
I am beautiful and perfect in His sight.
Nothing is wrong with me, God is always right!
You can take it or leave it, I really don’t care.
I have taken more than I can bare.
I am fine and you can say what you will.
I DO LOVE ME and ever more still.
I stand proud as a strong Black Queen.
I will have more than anyone has seen!
So in the twinkle of my eye stands beauty and grace.
I can see God all in my face.
Never more will I doubt what God has done.
With that said…I am the one!!!!
