What Ever Happened
By JaneyBlaze [ snapdragon021@aol.com ]

One day, I realized I wasn't white.

It's funny. I never noticed before.

Just up and became clear

All a sudden I was full

My life and true existence was so rich

Heritage...

My head knew not how to hang

So much to be proud of

One night, I was trying to sleep

And found out I wasn't black?

My pigment ain't close to that of a paper bag.

All the time

I knew. I was a person. A woman.

A mystery to myself, s goddess of beauty

To another

He thinks I am, dazzling, amazing

He figured out my riddle I call my life

Found it all inside

All my colors, that of my soul

The moment my eyes of question

Met the eyes of determination

It happened

Love

Mirror, Mirror

I look in the mirror and who do I see
The girl who's staring back at me

The one that I look at with shame
People look at her and feel the same

I wish that it were differently
But the girl they see that girl is me

I wish he knew it's the inside that matters
He has another and much rather look at her

I may not be the most beautiful girl
But the lord made me a part of this world

I wonder if the world would be a better place
If it weren't for me just another ugly face

Maybe one day I'll find that special man who'll put appearance aside and take
Me by the hand

But until that day I lay down and cry
Because its hard to face the truth.............

The mirror tells no lie

The fire in these eyes never cease to sear

Holes in your mind; no thought can escape my stare.

I know you can't handle me...

My sleekness, a cat on the prowl observing your every move

My voice, sending tones making every nerve pulsate

The touch of this fire vixen will tear you apart

Limb from limb

I melt your heart from the inside out.

My hair flaming

Every tear ablaze

My lips the hottest lava, my lovin' the purest gold

Lucifer himself ain't ne'er seen

Much heat as I got.

Fear only what you can't extinguish

Me? Neither timid nor shy.

Too bold to be forgotten

Always a point to prove an example to make

Most are scared to advertise

How else you gone be bought?

I got too much pride to be broken. Resplendent.

Radiant beauty

I will not be ignored-- no way

A fiery goddess with ambition

Every word spoken a lighted conversation

No jealousy need

Inside an inferno

Can't be quenched

See me blazing beauty
