Changes in my Colors
Within time,
I embrace the colors of me
Laying amongst white sheets…
In rainbow dreams of she…
Unfiltered being free…
No makeup depleting my shine,
Shades dipped in darker pigment
Blessed in a spiritual tanned not of figment…
A Queen never truly fall down
Even with lying blows to the crown
My jewels set in position
Polished to my imperfections,
In every tick of the clock
I reformed in the tock,
Cringing the eyes of the untanned,
Bronzed to change in illumination…
Every hue of my glimmer
Proactively created change,
Accepting only the love perfect for my frame…
As a woman, I changed
To not bow to prove my worth,
In my caramel essence to golden copper bliss
I fell in love with me
Expelling what don’t fit…
Escaping the spawn of lies
No tears to dry,
Darkness tried to pull me under
In every shade of light I pulled myself forward,
Filtering away witches spells
Watching warts of them warp in farewell,
I transformed into the woman
I was meant to be
Escaping lover’s birdcages
Now flying free…
In my cinnamon to cocoa complexion
I wait for what’s befitting for me…
Changing interests and distorted promises
Goddess is me,
Standing in my skin
Entitled to change…in every color of me, I win…
