No Bells & Whistles

Take me as I am ….complicated as it may be…
See the inner beauty....recognize the Queen in me….
Though there is no throne…the crown still fits….
Rather I wear it or not…on my dome it sits
I know who I am…no fashion can tell me….
In fact it compels me…not to conform…
Instead I choose to form….my own believes…
No bells and whistles are necessary for me….
I’m still royalty…rather heels or flats
Permed…locked….or naps…..
I be ...who I ...be….A Queen…
So take me as I am…complicated as it may be

Keisha "Kitten" Isaacs said...

@ Still Pocahontaz-Thanks Queen...I like that song "Umma Do Me!"

@ Flyyest-I bet you can if you put your mind to it. I used to say I wish I could draw and then I discovered at the age of 19 that I could draw!! Who knew...I sure didn't :)

@ Karrie B-lol! Flowed and Glowed huh?

@ Mizrespect-They say Great Minds Think Alike!

@ Sandy-Don't we all have issues?? I think the first step is admitting you have a problem...that takes inner growth though...

@deepnthought & I can't complain-Thanks Sistahs!

@Rex-PREACH!!!!!!!!

@T-You're right I'm not a complicated person at all, but seems that it's complicated for some to appreciate that fact! Sometimes you just can't win for losing!

Hey Keisha -
Loved the piece - I feel ya on every word - take me as I am - this is it!

Keisha "Kitten" Isaacs said...

@Ticia-I think the more we grow to love ourselves and accept us for us knowing that God makes no mistakes...the easier it will become from others to love us as we are...and if they don't we won't settle! Feel me?

OMG, that line is so sick!!!

I admire your ability with words. Are you on the spoken word circuit? Have you recorded anything?

Keisha "Kitten" Isaacs said...

@12Kyle-Thanks & I'll definetly be back to the 12th Planet.

@Sojourner G-Thanks for stopping by and I dig your standing ovation!

@Da Boss Mack Topsoil-Real talk is what I aim for..thanks

@The Second Sixty-Eight-Appreciate that.

@Miss Mika-Thank you Sistah! I don't really hit the spoken word scene to much anymore...I use my gift to glorify the Creator...so I'm often called to do church events, weddings, funerals, birthdays, youth retreats, etc....I have 1 cd I call the Master's Plan you can hear some on my songs on my myspace page and my minstries' website.
