#hyper sexualized

The dip that leads to the split, The split in between your thighs Is not where your purpose lies.

If he can not look at you in your eyes when speaking Then he does not deserve you. He is not deserving you, And he does not respect your majest.

This is for the colored girls I love you when no one else will When you are shriveled When you are unavailable When you get love handles Or when you are on your menstrual I am here, because I am you. And I know the pressure we go through

To present our best face I know the constant decisions we have to make In order to gain some attention.

Listen, please! Your mind is not in between your knees Your intelligence is not slung in the valley of your cleavage Your royalty is not that necklace Or that lace print Or that dress you want to look your best in

So you work out, and your body is up to his health standards But emotionally wounded I love you and myself enough to know That we shouldn’t be doing it I love you and myself enough to know That loving who you are Imperfections and intricacies Is the only thing to continue proving

This is for the colored girls Thrown into a world as Woman, Black, Young, Old Hyper sexualized, perpetuated by society

Our ass and our luscious lips are ours And they should be a mystery Too many to confuse Ignorance, aggressiveness, with assertive sexuality

Don’t think that girls on TV gyrating their souls loose are an image of you I love me, I love you, and I love them, too But I think we need to wake up And reclaim our make up Because we are naturally phenomenal and unique
