YOUR PERCEPTION

THANK YOU FATHER

This is a poem that the Lord put on my heart yesterday.

You perceive that my potential is in the size of my hips, but success is being welcomed for your belly, thick thighs, jiggle in your arms and the genuine pout in your lips.

You perceive that I desire to have money and long blond hair because that is your desire, but success is the wealth of my butter cream skin, stretch marks and my curly flair.

You perceive that I want a news desk or book deal because that is what you crave, but for me the success of others is why my voice is raised.

You perceive that I hate men because I recognize that I am a woman, but success is having a man whose strength is in how he understands where I am going and from where I am comin'

You perceive that I am unaware like Eve the first woman, who had no since of her ability, but success is knowing for a true that God will never leave nor forsake me.

You perceive that I am waiting for a woman like Oprah or a man like Tyler to knock on my door, but success is hearing both of them say to my spirit in the spirit of Ida B. Wells, that I am the woman that I have been waiting for.

You perceive that the blessing of God is measured in wealth, that has been your story,
but success my friend, the real blessing, is Christ in me the hope of glory.

Your perception of me and my abilities or what you see as a lack thereof is my strength, because it is not my lack of formal education, or the size of my waist, or the melanin in my skin or the chromosome's that I possess that I rely on.

Whatever you present to me as being my weakness will be developed into power.

Your Perception is not who I am.
And who I am doesn't need a network to back it up.

Like Natasha Bedingfield says:
I'm only one voice in a million and you ain't taking that from me...
I don't need a microphone to say what I been thinking...
My heart is like a loudspeaker, it's always on eleven...

LOVE Y'ALL
