Confirm My Worth!

Its the pounce in my step, that affirms my sexiness you say. Its the lisp in my speech, that deforms my intelligence but does God feel the same way? How we think people think about how we are, when we should be thinking of how God thinks of us, isn't that what matters at the end of the day?

How we want to have a powerful aura yet We painting shadows, making wind statues with clay and in darkness we sway. Real is confused with natural. we seek worth in places that are also seeking worth in night break and midday.


Its how we hide the fact that we are constantly on a husband hunt. Unconsciously seeking affirmation pretending to be gay. We create homes where we are not willing to stay. Create identity in the wee hours of each Sunday. Hey!! Confirm my worth, I wanna know if you think I'm okay. "Do you think the gap between my teeth is sexy?" "Do you think the kink in my natural hair makes me sassy?"

Hey!!! Confirm my worth, I wanna hear you say "my African Princess you ARE okay." "I know I am, but I wanna hear it from you!" When our mind converses with our heart this is what our souls say... Hey!! Confirm my worth because I'm not sure if I'm really okay... Yes we are the same, none of us is willing to say we are trotting on the same way...

Unconsciously we constantly say, "hey! confirm my worth, world I wanna know if you think I'm okay."
