Does that mean whatever you choose to see
Will facilitate how you determine my beauty
The fact that my self respect can be judged on what I wear
I wonder what this beholder is truly seeing
Why would you sum me up by the clothes I wear?
Sauntering to assumptions on how I carry myself
Because of the way a midi dress caresses my shape
How about you stop judging the outside
And get to know what is within
My be all and end all is not determined by marital status
But by whether or not I am making a difference
I am a human being and my own person
Not the labels others want to pin on me
My worth is not tied to my vagina
Nor is my strength synonymous with the extent of long suffering I can endure
Especially at the expense of a man
My sexual history is what exactly it is…. History
So assess me by the woman I am today
Facetious retorts like “She’s reformed and rebranded”
What is your personal problem sir?
Regardless of my life choices along the way
I was constructed in the image of the Most High
If no man can see that then so be it
In my heels I strive to walk in integrity
To get to the strong woman I am destined to be
For that, I understand how much I am worth
Precious like a beautiful ruby.
