Poem: I didn't really feel like it

I really didn’t feel like it

 

Underneath the skin of my chest

Behind the tissue of my breast

Lies the heart of my feelings

Connected to the mouth in which I confess

Behind the shadow of my eyes

Behind the tanning lotion of my legs and thighs

Behind the color on my lips with many selections to try

Behind the color of my hair from rinse-in dye

Wearing my shoe of choice

Singing in the mirror with joy in my voice

Lotion to make my skin, soft and moist

With an appearance that resembles a sleek Rose Royce

Choosing my jewelry

Digging until everything match

After the rocket science

I always find myself putting it all back 

I can look so nice

Yet,

Something I seem slack,

The clothes may look nice

But my shoes look whack.

Starting all over

Outfits I’ll try, may be more than 10

When it comes to getting dressed

Us women just can’t win.

I like this color

But this is what I want to wear

Now that I’ve picked the color of my clothes

I see that the color doesn’t match my hair.

After all that shopping

The outfit, I couldn’t wait to get it,

After getting it home

I realized I couldn’t fit it.

By this time I’m usually mad

So I start to cancel my plans

Getting dressed can be so sad

Oh, and I can’t stand having ashy hands

I know how I want to look that day

I can see it in my mind

But sometimes the right combinations

Become so hard to find

Why am I so obsessed?

Why am I so determind to look my best?

People think I think highly of myself

But secretly of myself I think less

It's because of an insecurity that I have

The reason that I shop so much

And this part of my life

I don't allow anyone to touch

Don't you dare say that I have a problem

Because I'll chew you out

I have to hide my weaknesses

These shoes will work no doubt

My make-up

My clothes

My walk

My talk

I use these things to disguise who I really am

My lashes

My heels

My inner tears

Being the real me, I don't think I can

(Don't read or names)

Sophia: My dear, that's just a feeling

Jonathan: My dear, I know that you can change

Sophia: What matters isn't how you dress

Jonathan: What matters is you name

Sophia: Before you knew about clothes

Jonathan: Before you knew about make-up

Sophia: You were just who you were when you were born

Jonathan: So many women because of low selfesteem are torn

Sophia: But you, you can make it

Jonathan: An a new beginning

Sophia: You can take it

Jonathan: Just grab it

Sophia: Hold it

Jonathan: Use it

Sophia: It's your inner beauty

Jonathan: You will never

Sophia: Ever

Jonathan: Lose it

Sophia & Jonathan: We love you and God loves you,

Jonathan: Just

Sophia: As

Jonathan & Sophia: You are...

QUOTE OF THE MONTH:

Men and women don't quit... Men and women keep fighting until they win!

BIBLE SCRIPTURE:

 

Psalms 138:13-18

13. You (God) Created me completly; you knit me together

in my mother's womb.

14. I praise you because I am impressively and wonderfully made;

Your works are wonderful, I know that for sure.

15. My frame was not hidden from you (You were there the whole time) when

I was made in the secret place.

When I was woven together in the depths of the earth (From the dust of the ground)

16. Your eyes saw my unformed body.

All the days ordained for me were witten in your book

before my first breath came to be.

17. Your thoughts about me are precious, O God! There are many of them.

18. If I were to count the number of good thoughts you have about me,

they would outnumber the grains of sand.
