FREE VERSE/THE TOP SHELF

I Wanna Be a Sista

With skin that glows like a latte pond, chocolate bittersweet, or a Hershey’s Kiss, honeyed and molten on the tongue

With lush, full lips that need no “fillers” nor adornment, and a sensuality that’s undeniable and unrestrained

With hair that has a life of its own, natural, and wild, a voluminous force to be coveted and celebrated and for some, like me, envied

With sex appeal that’s ingrained, not strained, and a form kissed by curves that unabashedly proclaim, “fuck skin and bones”

With vitality, nobility, and a badassery that never, ever puts up with bullshit from bullshitters, no matter their “birthright”

With substance and style and a “let’s get it poppin’ with no stoppin’” zest for life and all of its obstacles, and glories

With love…

If you can handle it, read every one of my stories and those of other fab Medium writers. I’ll get a couple of shekels and you’ll have full access to this whole joint! https://sherrymcguinn.medium.com/membership Or, fuck it.
