Melanated
Does my confidence upset you?
Is it the way my sun kissed skin sings the melody of beauty or the depth of my hips and the strength in my stride?
Smooth is my texture. Warm is my touch. Beating is my heart.
Does my confidence upset you?
Desire drips from this cocoa dipped, chocolate coated, chestnut honey flesh.
My soul wakes fires of passion and love.
Does my confidence upset you?
Thick-lipped words of sass and courage.
You will not determine my worth
Uneducated,
Dirty,
Vicious,
Animal.
Did you think you’d break me ?
Ha
I write the history for the generations to come. Our decadent, indulgent skin will flow from the earth toned fires surging within us. Igniting the fierce force of power and independence as fellow black women.
