to dopegirlfresh:
i look at you and i see a prophet
words of wisdom dripping from your lips
you speak to the core of my beingmuscle and bone stop fighting each other in your presence
the pores in my skin open up to seep you in
the follicles of my hair sit rooted in deep held attention
everything within me listens to youyou are fly, you are divine
you are fullyou are not to be pitied for any reason
you walk with the might of your ancestors
the foremothers are with yougive thanks always*
every conversation with you
is a poem
rising for airi am left wondering
how many times we have to be told we are beautiful
until we believe it?i believe it
and i am giving thanks
for you
always* blockquote are her words, not mine
