My New Beginning- By Patrice Matthews

by Patrice Matthews   Apr 5, 2006


"Why, why you always coming, coming round me, with your negative vibes?" Destra

I am shedding those clothes once again.
The dirt is clogging my pores and stifling my breath.
The grime is overbearing; contagious and filthy
and I have a desire to breath freely;
so please keep your comments to yourself;
and excuse me while I take you out of my life.
Allow me to shine bright and clear.
Cleanliness is close to Godliness so as
my personality shines white I know that I will find a peace that no man can provide.
Who needs a reminder of flaws, mistakes and sins?
Be a friend and companion to me not a faux;
cause I don't need people like that talking to me!!
You're the type of person that laughs when I stumble and am glad when I trip.
I am searching for a brotha on a par with my level of understanding.
I want a man that can encourage me to be all that I can be
while allowing me the freedom to do my thang!!
As for you, I am tired of explaining myself to you!
I am tired of the remarks and looks of scorn
so I have decided to grant you permission to call me stuck up all you want.
However, while you do so please realize that circumstances made me who I am.
You may scrutinize, but don't hate me because I have standards,
or because I'm not ashamed to tell you no.
I understand that my spirituality is the most beautiful thing
that the good Lord bestowed upon me;
so don't hate the reflection of that beauty which is me.
I refuse to compromise my ability, time or worth simply for your satisfaction.
So my brotha you may hate me
but as you do so lose the 'she so stuck up', and 'she think she a damn saint' mentality
that you have draped upon your shoulders.
I just have a clean air about myself that you will never seem to understand;
so save your strength and don't bother trying...
My only advise for you, now that you have been educated,
is to allow me to dazzle the world with my shine,
and don't let the door hit your behind as you leave...
