MEN SAY BECAUSE I AM A BIG, BLACK WOMAN, I MUST WAIT,
AND RELATE TO THE BLACK MAN BESIDE ME,
BUT THEY CAN'T HEAR THE TEARS DROWNING INSIDE ME,
WAITING TO REVEAL THEMSELVES, ROLLING DOWN MY CHEEK,
I FEEL WEAK WITH THEIR LOVE,
BUT THEIR EYES ALWAYS TUNED IN TO THE OTHER WOMAN, I CRY,
JUST BECAUSE I'M THICK IN SIZE, THEY DON'T REALIZE,
I'M A NATURAL WOMAN, A NATURAL BEAUTY, WITH MY BEAUTIFUL SOFT THIGHS,
I ASK THE BLACK MAN, WHY DOES HE DESIRE THE WOMAN THAT IS ALWAYS THIN,
IS IT SOMETHING WITHIN HIM?
THAT MAKES HIM THINK THIS IS ONLY BEAUTIFUL?,
WE ARE ALL BEAUTIFUL; OUR SIZE, OUR EYES, OUR SMILE, THAT'S WORTHWHILE,
ANSWER ME THIS, BLACK MAN, CAN'T YOU SEE ALL THIS BEAUTY,
THAT GOD HAS GIVEN ME?,
IT'S SAD, BUT AT TIMES I'M GLAD,
BECAUSE WHEN PROBLEMS ARISE, THEY REALIZE,
BY KNOCKING ON MY DOOR, TO TALK, SHOULD I THEN ANNOY?,
I CAN'T BECAUSE I LOVE THE BLACK MAN, IT'S INSIDE ME TO CARE FOR HIM, LOVE HIM, LISTEN TO HIS SORROWS, TO HIM I'LL ALWAYS FOLLOW,
NO MATTER WHAT, BECAUSE HE'S A BLACK MAN, AND I'M STILL A BIG, BEAUTIFUL, BLACK WOMAN, UNDERSTAND?

*THIS POEM WAS NOT WRITTEN TO DOWN THE THIN, BEAUTIFUL BLACK SISTAS, JUST LETTING SOME FEELINGS FLOW*
