Cinderellas

I am
Royal
Loyal
Beautiful
Escaped the usual
Model/turned actress “B”
See
I am
Lifted
Gifted
High above these contradictions
Of a black female
Understood
You don’t know my story
My glory
But I don’t mind sharing
The crevices of my mind-set
In all that is of light and love
I am
Queen
Reliving
Mighty
Sheba and Deborah
Rule her kingdom
With precision
And empathy
A warrior
I am
For the cause of the good cause
There’s a legacy in sight
For my princesses to reign
In my shoes
Her shoes
Cinderella, be back by midnight
Your pumpkin, a Benz
Your servants, your real friends
Be obedient and you’ll see
A prince awaiting thee
When the shadows come off
Revlon wears off
Remain before him
He’ll cover you and don’t be afraid of their faces
3 musketeers of envy, strife, and murder
They wanna hurt cha
But they can’t touch ya
My cinderellas…
Cause I gotcha
Your fairy godmother
Full of wisdom and fun
They can’t take what’s for you hun
So listen closely
As I whisper your destiny
In context, a little complex
I got plans for your success
To be blessed
Stand the wiles of tests
I’ll give you a cheat sheet
I’ll make it plain- for ya
Only be thou strong and very courageous
Cause I’m witcha
Through it all
Stand tall
My Cinderellas
