Hey, peeps! Can you believe I have posted twice this month? I know right. I have lots of free time before my next exam, so I have decided to try to do a little bit more writing. Yay! This post won't be very long. It's just a poem I wrote a week ago when I wasn't feeling too grand about myself. Everyone has those days and so I have decided to share this poem with you all. Maybe when you have a storm cloud day it will make you feel a bit better. It does get a little pg 13 (maybe rated r actually) so, be warned.
I'll also attach a link to a cool you tube video. I actually saw this video after writing this poem, but its still awesome. Enjoy!
"This Is Tasha"
This is my face,
It's chiseled like a diamond with long sharp edges,
It houses my nose, mouth and eyes,
My round dark brown eyes,
My full dark lips,
And it rests under my thick kinky curls.
These are my arms,
My strong arms that can lift the world.
And these are my hands,
My hands that have been bruised, cut and scarred,
That have felt the heat, the cold and the earth with these hands.
And these are my breasts,
My small chocolate breast that the spirits gave me.
My stomach,
It is round like the earth and smooth like glass.
My hips,
They shout to the world that I an a woman.
And further down are my luscious thighs,
Lean, strong and they are all mine.
And between them is something precious,
That they will forever protect from those undeserving.
Below are my legs that hold me up like the roots of an old tree.
Finally, here are my feet,
My strange, odd looking feet,
They have felt the sun,
Ran through the sand and have danced in the mud,
These are my feet.
This is me,
This is my body,
This is Tasha.

Please, let me know what you think about the poem. I haven't written poetry in awhile, so I may be a little rusty. I also encourage you all to write your own poems and share them. I'd love to read them. Thanks!
