well, let's write then.
you bad.
you wanna know what's going on?
who's thinking what?
but what about you?
when you gonna open yo mind up
for the world to witness?
no more holding back,
folding in on yourself,
caving inside yourself,
hoping to give yourself the freedom
of being caged.
come on.
let's write.
and talk about all the things
that you have been dealing with
and plagued by
and burdened from.
let's get to know a little about you.
what's it like to be a brown girl nowadays?
how did it feel to be a ragdoll
pulled on from both sides
till you thought you would tear in two
not knowing what either could do
with half of you?
how does it feel to be past that
and in love again?
how does it feel to be thinking about happily ever after
and wedding bells?
you wanna know,
but you don't tell.
go head girl.
tell me how it feels to see your hips spread wide
and see the roundness of you belly
in the mirror.
do you caress it
and bask in the glories of your budding womanhood?
or have you, too
fallen victim to the magazines?
tell me,
where do you find music?
how do you hear it?
how do you give it back to the earth?
what is that like for you,
little drummer girl,
guitar strummer,
key tickler?
where does all that music come from?
where do you want it to go?
and how was it for you yesterday
to have all that different love
in all those different ways?
did you sleep soundly
knowing you were adored?
or did your insecurities still creep in
and tell you that you are not worthy
or maybe they were all just faking,
waiting, wanting something from you?
how did you quiet the voices in your head last night
so that you could finally rest?
come on.
write about it.
you wanna know all about me...
but what about you?
