Soulful Sunday: I am

I am a black woman
Imperfect from flesh to soul
Struggling not to lose my way
Fighting to stay on this journey, I pray
The fight to remain ME while
growing
maturing
blossoming
into who I needed to be yesterday
does not affect this Shay
-- tomorrow
The sorrow that comes with growing pains
Man, I can count the gains on my hand
As fear of the unplanned
stalk every ounce of me
that is real
Real tired of playing the field
in this love triangle
Stay woke before you choke on those negative thoughts
the ones that fought
fought hard to come to flourish
my heart now porous
unable to drown in the love for me
old or new
eventually curving the  evolution
the transformation
or was it false information

because I was so busy worrying

I forgot to believe what’s true

:::looks in the mirror:::  

I forgot to believe in You

And all that

I am

Have a soul filled Sunday ya’ll!
