Who am I?


Dear world,

I carry the life’s weight on my shoulders.

Who am I?

I am the one who helps God’s pride and joy walk the Earth.

Doctors, Lawyers, Artists, Athletes, Actresses and Actors, Models, Youth Leaders, Preachers, and Pastors, that was me.

God’s dream I helped into reality.

Who am I?

I’m constantly degraded by men but yet I carry them.

They make my looks and body into a joke.

But yet, it made them.

Strong, Black, and Beautiful, Yep that’s my anthem.

Who am I?

This cold cruel world could easily eat me up and spit me out if I let it. 

Many of us do.

We let them whisper in our ear everything we wanna hear, then they take advantage of us.

Who am I?

I can use my brain to out smart most, my body as a weapon, and my strength to prove my point.

And my beauty, I don’t let go too easily. 

I’m handy with make up but my natural beauty makes me, me.

Who am I you say?

I’m one of God’s earthly creations.

I Am A STRONG BLACK WOMAN WHO NOT ONLY TALKS THE TALK, BUT WALKS THE WALK.

Sincerly,

Precious McField
