What if beauty isn't defined by the white patriarchy

.

What if they told me i didn't fit in funny haired girl who dresses funny and talks too proper .

The little girl who stood up to the third grader who tried to bully her off the swing get outta here first grader .

No. I won't.

.

then the girl gave me a nasty look and hurled the words at me:

.

You have a black butt or was it you're a black butt

.

I crossed my eyes and stuck my tongue out at her ..i told her she was wrong Mama see my pants are purple.

.

.

then mama took me aside and explained:

it was meant to be derogatory See its not just the little bubble.

.

Your ATTITUDE is showing.

.

see what happened there.

.

.

So this little adopted mixed girl spent the next 30 years trying to hide it.

.

Her ass & her sass.

.

.

My legs are thick and solid

A Nomad at heart.

.

Traveller.

.

.

i'm here because i follow in the sacred smoke and prayers of those who dared to dream i could ever even exist..

.

.

New deal: i don't need your acceptance because u want a taste of exotica fruit you've never tried don't call me pretty because you're curious or just like the color of my skin my roots run deep

.

.

i'm a bit bitter sour sweet salty earthy .

.

don't think u can accept some parts & not the others i'm not trying to fit into the palm of your hand and then discarded when i don't look sound act smell feel behave the way you hoped i don't exist for you

Man or woman .

i am whole

Wholly

For Me.

.

don't believe what ANYONE else told you.
