Fear

Fri, 12/07/2018 - 22:23 -- Narleyj

Fear,

how did a woman like me ?, Conquer my fears.

How did I face my insecurities ?

My deepest darkest fears, that I always so dreaded within. 

I face myself in the mirror everyday and say my body is perfectly fine, 

Im just as beautiful as any other woman that a man look at passing by.

Seeing the people who brought me down and I look at them with my head held 

high.

Hearing their voices taunting me,

As a young black woman I can't let my spirit die.

I use to look For someone to love but I know looking can just leave you dry 

Self love is the greatest that is what i figure out now.

The person who left me feeling dirty and in pain , 

I no longer feel pity for myself ,

Im not ashame .

all these fears I had 

I can bulldozer right over them

Im no longer afraid.
