Girls Like Me
We enter this world with a vengeance
Ready to take on anything that stares us in the face
Then Life deals us a hand with twists and turns
Traumas, devastations, situations that scar us
Even still we Press, not knowing what tomorrow holds
Yet we know we can’t quit
For the drive and the ambition inside won’t allow no such things
So, we gravitate towards rituals and elements within the earth
to balance
Grounding our souls, we take control and begin to search within
ourselves
Peeling off every layer of life that has be imprinted on us
There is still anger, frustration, and confusion within
We pray for brighter days and release, yet we are told
Hold on, we can handle every situation we are given
So, we SCREAM, loud, louder and louder hoping someone will truly
hear us
Don’t look at our strength or the trails that we’ve blazed,
instead see our tears
And the pain behind all the glory… We have done treacherous
things
To make ends meet, feed our families, and fulfill the desires of
our lovers
We protect those we love by any means necessary
However, the journey where we find ourselves tell us there is a
greater task at hand
We have been chosen to share our story and love peacefully
through our very existence
We must hail praises to our wombs and operate from our spirits
within
For we are Creators and soul bearers, bringing forth life from
dimension to dimension
Girls like me realize we are Women yet have so much more to give
Ashes to Ashes, dust to dust, yet we continue to Rise throughout
all eternity
