In praise of the WONDERFUL circle of sistas in my life.
There could be no me without you.


you breathe my breath on my behalf
when my spirit is about to crash
and you last
beyond the moment when i have given up
and you become hope, for me
you adore me
in all of my flaws
you let me break the laws
of beauty
and still be accepted as beautiful.
thank you.

your words speak to me and for me
when my own words are swallowed in hurt
and fear
and torment
and chaos
i get lost in your love
unable to fathom just how deep and strong it is
and longing to
craving to
give the same to you in return.

i praise God for you
for us
for pain
which makes us stronger
we last longer
because we've been fighting harder
you are my life jacket in water
that surronds
and threatens to drown
me
thank you

thank you for your tears, which fall selflessly
when my own tears are weak to manifest
fist against chest
he took what was left of me
damn near got the best of me
but today
i am breaking free
because of God, you and the me
that knows how to resist
bullshit

i walk past the mirror and at times
i see you
black and blue
but shining lighter
because i am fighter
and when i am too weak
you come and help me defeat
and though i am weak
i am managing to find the strength to say
thank you.
