Have you seen yourself lately?
"Everything I see in the mirror is me,
But everything I see in me is not in the mirror,
Therefore, there is more to people than the facade they put up.
I see more in you than the front you put up- You are strong, but kind,
Yet your blackness teaches you different,
You defend yourself before you are accused,
You insist on being proper and those that don't are ghetto,
You tone yourself down as if to say; I'm sorry I'm black.
Does this offend you? Well You offend me.
I am a proper black woman,
At times I'm loud and snap my fingers when heated,
I walk with a twist and my attitude could use adjusting.
I am black, so get with the programme.~ Milo Mael
The question you should ask yourself is; what do you see in the mirror. Is it the image of yourself or the image society has given you? Only you can decide who you are. Make it a wise choice.
OXOX U ROCK!

More african americans settle to society standards. To me it doesn't matter. Light skin dark skin. I don't like when dark skin people envy light skin people. At the end of the day, we all need to love ourselves. God made us this way.
ReplyDeleteYes JM, I think that is what Milo Mael was trying to say. That she loves herself the way she is and that others would just have to deal with it. Self love is necessary.
