I need you to hold me like my existence matters.

Matters to you and to the world.

Yes, this poor little dark skinned girl,

In search of her place in the world.

Hold me.

Without me, there is no life.

Hold me.

All that is brown would never have the possibility to become green.

Hold me.

We’d be stuck in a season with autumn leaves, afraid of extinction.

Hold me.

Admire the light I carry and know I AM the reason life is conceived.

Hold me.

And dare not marry the thought of you leaving.

Hold me like my existence matters.
Demonstrate the former for the latter.

Our culture fell into a deep destruction, shattered, scattered.
Teach to speak to the hearts that can change this life-threatening pattern.

Provoke thought, conscious talk and a mindful walk
As the conduct and manner to the Black lives that matter.

Because our Black lives do matter.

Honey, your woman really matters.
And, our men.

Let us reproduce an end to all castration in our neighborhood.

They say all things are created for the good.
And so I .. believe in his dream like Martin Luther.

And so I .. give of myself everything to change his future.

On the mountaintop, anchored in a higher vision
That makes revisions to the failures and mistakes
That has me reminiscent of a past life that I revisit.

When I would fight if him or I aren’t acting right.
And so I .. X out distinct, rebellious attitudinals,
That will keep me in the cycle of the usual
And prevent me from fulfilling the promise and the truth I hold

Because the verbiage I’m used to
Will deter me from the path I’m making moves to.

And so I .. see that he has strength to make it happen
And to carry it out with a passion

And so I .. inspire his magic
Therefore, live out my purpose to be the phenomenal woman I am

Each day, it is a practice.

Until I find myself . .

Living it easily,
Flowing like a soft, windy breeze.

It is a luxury to feel his heartbeat even when the sun sets to evening.

I don’t have to wonder if he’s coming home to me.
It is freedom.

Alone, I was not as free as I am.
I need him,

Even though I am rich within as Saudi.
I am throwing you a sultry party.

Come, discover me like gold in the sand.
And Love me.
Love me.
Love me like you never left the Motherland.

Hold me tight
Like a boy to his mother’s hand.

My existence matters because I will recover you, Prince,
In the night like the sun rose again.

You are my Knight.
Protector of Life.

And, you  a l w a y s  win.

Your existence matters to the extent that with my life I will defend your Honor-
Able in my arms to gon’ head and be vulnerable.

I will rub your back.
I will hold your heart.
I will conduct myself in such a way that I always show up as your Star-
Light in the dark..
Bright, sure to spark
Life, and reproduce it again.

And use my voice to be your music.

I see you rising up even when they think you’re losing.

Abusing their power, manipulating systems, and imprisoning your body and mind.
Still, you’re undefeated.

King,
That is why, I dance for you
Every time you touch down at the finish line.

I know you need it.
And so you know I see it.

And even when they all underestimated you
I kept Faith in my third eye views

And knew that what’s news to them, would always be.
Your existence matters to me.

So, hold me.
