Stand

What is it about me you adore?

Is it too significant to ignore?

I don’t carry myself lightly,

Even if people and surrounding things try smite me into oblivion,

Yet still I carry on.

Tormented loneliness in my soul,

No, that’s not a window in my eye it’s a gaping hole.

 

Once I lost control,

All for love,

Its loss and echoing emptiness,

I ‘AM’ OUT OF CONTROL!

My emotions are on a roll,

Doing the pantsula, kicking dust in the air,

I breathe in contempt, NO! I am NOT content,

With the best of it,

I guess it’s the rest of me I should be worried about.

 

Once again I’m out and about, wondering,

Where is she?

Where is the one and only,

Whose body is as holy as a temple?

Let’s get rid of this phony,

‘Cause right now I can’t tell…

Is she here with me?

Buried deep under a lot more of me?

I think I met her once her name was Stephanie.

We’d skip gleefully through the dark corridors of life,

Hand in hand,

‘Thicker’ than thieves.

I told her “you have my heart” and she cut off her sleeves.

Dammit! Have you seen  her?

‘Cause it’ll be like bringing in the sheaves when we are finally together.

 

When she comes around,

If…

I’m still hopeful,

Shit! I’m living on a prayer so…

When she comes around,

Crown her…

If your wallet is under

Do it on a budget

Bow down but don’t lie…

Just let her, even for a minute …Stand

Just…let her do it,

For this moment…

 Let her Stand.

 

 

 

 

Every woman is Beautiful

Hello there thought to shed some positivity and acceptance in the wee hours of the morning. with all the misleading and unrealistic ideals of what a woman should be, yet alone look like; acceptance of ourselves becomes harder and harder, confidence wanes and beauty becomes to beg a new meaning. we all have dragon dayS when we wish we were a little bit taller, hate who we are, want to throw something heavy at the screen when a video vixen-ish woman pops up or have friends that can pig out to their hearts delight minus the weight gain or for some reason beyond you have ridiculously banging bods that are completely proportionate!!! (I digress!)

I haven't met you, but you should know that what ever shape, height or angle or shape up there that your body is at but... YOU are Beautiful and only YOU can confirm it as you live beneath your skin through your heart, compassion and everyday action. Yes great personalities still count ;)
