I am not an object to be lusted over.
I am not to be judged based on my exterior,
Nor am I to be considered a thing,
A disposable accessory,
A worthless voice.
You will hear my war cry,
You will see me in all my might.
I am a mighty being,
So mighty,
I will cause you a fright.
How dare you think less of me based on what you see,
How dare you link my character to the size bra I’m wearing,
If you dare to notice my character at all,
I am not to be disrespected,
although I have let myself down before,
Hypersexualisation should not be a societal norm.
Pornhub should be banned,
It’s a playground where vile fantasies are born.
Sexual addiction is a mental illness and young boys are not to be blamed,
When older men decide to paint the canvas and show them that fear in a womxn’s eyes,
Is something to be framed.
I am not a being who is voiceless,
I am not a being who’s tongue will be shushed,
We are doing humanity a disservice,
True Self Love is being heavily overlooked and I won’t stand for it.
You don’t have to understand,
But I beg of you look around you and see,
We are harming the young people and children,
We are harming them,
Can’t you see.
This is not the type of equality Malcolm X asked for,
Encaged out the chains but encaged the mind isn’t free,
And so,
I ask you don’t look at me like I’m edible or call me Babe or think I should serve your needs.
The world and the mind,
Requires change now,
The newly enslaved mind,
Must be free.

How come our own hearts can be so mean,
To our own selves we can’t be seen,
And yet,
The world around us keeps on ticking.
The mind cares not for time and by design we must feel fine,
For shame if the world were to ever see her cry,
To hear the true pain that is carried inside,
And so,
Is it safer to push through alone and hide?
Self Love is both bitter and beautiful,
And when in doubt,
Know you are not alone in all you go through,
Its just the society constructed around us is not mindful.
I’ve grown to understand the closest people to you will hurt you,
Not with intention to,
But they too,
Walk this life and have lessons to learn,
And the harsh reality is we will get burned,
And you have to be fine with it,
Because every lesson comes with a blessing, if you tame the minds negative energy,
Understand propriety is not meant for we,
You Must Not Succumb To The Box,
For it is only you whose greatness you can unlock.
Rid yourself of fear, there’s no love here
Just the clasp of otherness that dejects your somebodiness.
Set Yourself free.
You are mighty,
But you don’t see it.
And relying on the world around you is sadly a form of mistreatment
Relying on the lost and ignorant to guide you is unwise,
As there is much ill intent,
But you can turn within you
As there is a space that’s heaven sent.
It’s ok to be at a disconnect,
Self Love is hard work but it’s meant to heal you,
If you could just have faith you can push beyond the barriers used to conceal you.
Rise In Power.
Attain Your goals.
Being vulnerable is a gateway,
An opening to your soul.
There’s no need to be careful stepping into the unknown,
You just need to learn to let go and let flow. LD Lore
