[POETRY] All of Me Pt. 2
By Joanie Jonez | @joaniejonez
Shea Butter
Shea butter on my face
Keepin up with the race
to find myself
before I find myself underground.
I turn around
and see my face lookin back at me
I ask myself the question
what have you done?
Learn and in turn
dare to share
to care
There’s always time to spare
to wear my heart on my sleeve.
♀
Shea butter on my hands
tryin to over stand
where I take a stand
Puttin thoughts n words into action
Less reactions more interactions
will bring me satisfaction
This I know because I begin to glow.
♀
Shea butter on my ashy brown skin
Lettin it seep in
Deep penetrations cause motivations
infatuations as to who’s within
Smoothin out the wrinkles as my skin drinks it all in
Quenchin my thirst
puttin me first.
♀
Shea butter all over my brown skin
through the thick and thin
Parts of me
In every fold and crevice
In every wrinkle and blemish
Finally
relief from within.
♀
Replenished shiny brown hues
Give me clues as to who’s
Really real
How I choose
to feel
to heal
and deal
WITH MYSELF!
