All I Need

All I need is a life without fear.

I fear my life being taken for a small reason.

I fear my life doesn’t matter to everyone.

I fear spiders and snakes.

I fear people.

All I need is a life without fear.

I’m am fearful because I am black.

I am a black female.

I am a black female with a big booty.

It appeals to all.

Something that can boost a man’s self-esteem if he can hit that.

All I need is a life without fear.

I am strong, yet vulnerable.

I am smart, yet still curious.

I don’t want to be taken advantage of, because he wants me.

All I need is a life without fear.

I fear tall, built football players.

I fear tall, basketball players.

I fear jocks.

Because that’s what I attract.

Some girls say i’m blessed.

But.

When you're constantly being told, and text,

That they are going to tear up my delicate insides

It’s scary.

That I won’t heal.

It’s scary.

All I need is a life without fear.

Or a month

Or a week

Or a day

Or a second

All I need is a moment without fear.

So I can tell myself.

It’s gonna be alright.
