Nappy Curls
February 22, 2017
Don't you know your nappy curls are precious too
That your brown skin casts a soft glow like a sunrise
That it has a sparkle like stars in the night sky
Don't you know your curvy hips can be admired too
Don't you know that you were born beautiful
And not for the pleasure of men
Cause boys can be beautiful to
And anyone to challenge such a premonition
Just doesn't know
I just don't tuck it between my legs like other men do
I wear my testicles on my chest to show the world
I'm not just beautiful
I'm handsome too.
