For Every Woman
They say you're bitter
Because they couldn't stand the taste of your pain
They say you're single
Because you affirm every partner's flaws without display
They say you'll never find love
Complimenting that your standards exceed mediocre
They say they're happy
Yet their cries can be heard over the moonlit waters
You are an ocean of purity and life
You are more than just being someone's wife
You are coy, beautiful, and educated
Charismatic, appreciative, and just the right amount of passive
I'm confirming you are the cream of the crop
Leave those crabs in a barrel and continue to shine from the top.

Outted
I never came out
Everyone just knew
I'd show up with her in tow
Just eyeing my queen in the room
There's a glow about pride
There's also pain adjacent to the proud
In a room full of sinning Christian's
You're always the walking contradiction
Everyone is uncomfortable
With misunderstanding
Everyone is in disbelief
Thinking you're disqualified from heaven
I never came out
Everyone just knew
At 14 I wasn't sure
Over the years my confidence grew
See I believe in God
See I believe in you
My mother understood first
My self love superseded the curse
I'm not here to gain your acceptance
Your sexuality causes me no disdain
Mine has already caused me enough confusion
Maturing into womanhood nursing the bruises and pain
My sexuality is not on trial
My sexuality doesn't change with the rain
I'm a seasoned spirit dishing out the address
For everyone in the room
I never came out
But now you know too.

Broken Clocks
Impudent Liberation
Munition
Was charred before the chariot rode in
