Am I, Am I Not

Truth Frazier 

I want to be the girl you see 

My soul beaming with kindness 

And the love 

I provide for you 

At my expense. 

Not the lines my body make that your eyes follow on a curve 

Or the eyes you think about looking up at you 

I want to be

the girl you 

love 

At 

your 

expense. 

Promises of intent and not possibility 

Ensure that when I get nervous and my palms sweat, you’ll still hold my hand and sweat with me. 

I want to be the girl you’ll change for when you realize

that even if I have clothes on, you only focus on seeing what’s underneath. 

I want to be

Am I not?
