I'm in love with me today
wrapped in beauty formed by the divine
appreciated only by a few
I am a supa sista
the greatest of the world
sexy and fine
seriously on my grind
Believing that I am that I am
because God said so
Remembering that past hurts
as they have scared my soul
but building me, me
I'm in love with me today
this week alone
called a whore by a man
who said, "I love you."
Rejected.
He sought to cause me harm
and I stand and smile.

I struggle with lust
I seek love
I wait
Patiently.

I love me
my hips.
the marks of birth that circle
the sun in my stomach
reminding me of the blessing
of life
my Lips
can speak wisdom from the soul of the ancient Gods
I am in love with me today.

My digestion of the 1970s American popular culture in the form of television, film, ads, and music only added to my training, so that by as early as age nine or ten I saw females, includ

If I was your girlfriend

Yeah, another Prince discussion. This man has saved my soul through the years. A follow Prince fan always refers to Prince as the ultimate "pimp". He speaks of how smooooooth Prince is lyrically. I came across the video for "If I Was Your Girlfriend," taken from the Sign of the times film. I started gigglin'. Prince IS a pimp. So clever. Witty. Smooth. Just runnin' game but damn, I'd fall for it. The title alone would get me..... IF I WAS UR GIRLFRIEND - PRINCE
