I don’t want you to recognize me
I want my smile to glimmer better
I need to be nothing less than
completely me
The next six months will lead some of you
To feel like you never knew me
To begin with
I want to move differently
You’ll catch me expanding, glowing, and think
‘Who’s that beautiful brown skinned woman
Whose presence brings you to your knees
While her energy demands more of you, for you’
Because no one with all that power
Wants to keep the rest of the world in the dark
