I See Me
Looking at her, I see more than just a girl
I see her kinky curls
And the pride and practice seen in each strand’s twirl
I see her skin
The pain and perseverance it is painted in
I see her eyes
The window to her weary soul
I see her lips
Big enough to hide her secrets but bold enough to share her opinions
I see her chest
Burdened with the hurt in her heart that’s never left
I see her stomach
And the very displays of her womanhood that lie beneath it
I see her thighs
Never perfect in size, as trends change like the tides
I see her feet
Having walked in triumph and defeat
I see her memories
Sibling games of Hide and Seek
And family functions that blasted Bob Marley
I see her sarcastic yet caring personality
Looking at her, I see a beautifully crafted, but damaged, welcoming but cautious,
Mess of a human being
I see me
