Ghetto Girl


I love you 

I need you 

Your the one I looked for

I love When your being you

strong enough to be independent

But decade enough to be held and loved 

I love your ratchetness the smacking of the teeth

Still your important to me 

The head nodding and clapping your hands when passionate about your words

The chewing of the gum and rolling of the eyes 

The pettiness of your actions

Single mom I can do bad all by myself attitude 

Don’t need a nigga, Black girl attitude  

Throughout all of this 

I see a Queen

who just need to be held with passion and love

You deserve the world

And I wish I could give it to you 

You deserve to be taking care of as gardener would care for his or her flowers.

Your that special to me
