Triple Threat
Positive and negative emotions,
Intertwine in side my mind,
Creating rigorous thoughts of passion filled thoughts,
It’s not who I am that bothers you but what I am,
You see you see right past my,
Intelligent,
Intellectual,
Sweet,
Down to earth demeanor and dig out portions of my life that you don’t happen to like
You see I am a triple threat
Not to you,
Not to me,
But to how society should be,
Never mind that degree I have that shows hard work and courage of never giving up,
Never mind that talent I have for having a way with words that could stir emotions from your inner person
Never mind that child I had and raised by myself,
But do mind that I have a love for women,
Do mind that I am an African American, who may have bits and pieces of this and that that make my skin fair,
Do mind that I am a woman, delicately molded but hard as stone
For I have survived the harsh realities of what the world has to offer and have made it
I have accomplished,
Have accomplished being a triple threat and survived
For I am strong
I need not have your blessings to do so but I have
I am lesbian not because I have been done wrong by a man,
But because I love the feel of a woman
I love the feel of soft skin vs. rough
I love the sensuality of a woman,
The suppleness of a woman
Damn it I just love everything about a woman
But you fault me
I hear people ask
Well what will you do when faced with god on judgment day?
And every time I answer them with my back straight and look deeply into their eyes
I will say I am your creation and I’m proud
Then I might get different comments as if to how can I be Gods creation when god said that it is sin
And I say
He created me didn’t he?
It’s not as if I haven’t had enough of a hard time being me
But you come and decide that me being me isn’t right
Well then who said being me should be wrong
I lay in bed sometimes at night and think about my life
And I smile
I am outside the norm
No fashion model body, 36-24-36
But with a*s and hips like this……….S**t,
See I am a triple threat
And it suits me just fine
Cuz while you’re running around trying to down me
I’m waiting for my time to shine
See words are wisdom
And wisdom can come in the form of words
And while your calling me every name in the book
Dyke, C**t, B***h
Apparently you have neither
Don’t be offended
But then again I guess the truth hurts
Because you could never hurt me,
Because I know who I am
And I know what I am
I am me
And that is something that no one else could ever be
You might label me,
Or try to pick me apart
But from the start I think you should know
That knowing me is like an Art
Don’t look at me and shake your head
Nor roll your eyes and then take a deep sigh
Because I don’t know what the problem is
Because I love myself
And if you don’t like well you can really go f**k yourself
I’m not trying to be harsh
I’m just being real
And if you have a problem with that
Then maybe you should take a look at yourself
And bag back
Cuz I got 99 problems and a b***h aint one
I look back and this harsh society and dry a*s reality we call life
And I can dig it
Cuz as long as there are people like you
I have a challenge
And I love challenges
Because as long as you doubt me
Motivation is the key
And 100% of the time
You’re the key
Because
I am Black
I am Lesbian
I am Woman
A Triple Threat
And well that suits me just fine………..
