The One

I am nobody's  eighty or twenty percent, I'm a hundred percent and then some all the way. I refuse to settle for anything but the best and will not go to standards beneath me in order to have the allure of fake diamonds.

There are times when we become guilty of  doing the things we ought not to and of  compromising our standards in order to fit in. Being different and  standing for something instead of falling for everything can be so very difficult because it makes you stick out like a sore thump. But the rule and not the exception is that being different isn't a bad thing especially when being different populates good morals.

The most powerful and influential  people in the world known to man all chose to be different. Today, i dare someone to be different - i dare a teenage girl or young woman to say this is who i am and these are the standards i will not let go of , i dare someone to say i am proud and happy to be different, today i dare a woman to say I am 100% and then some and its your loss if you cant see that.

Today I dare you......

I’m not gonna be the one batting my eye lashes at you
Or the one making the homeboys whistle …'sweet honey' come through
But I’m gonna be the one who will always be true to you
Looking you dead in the eyes saying get down on your knees and pray boo.

Who while you sleep will watch over you and pray
Asking our savior to wash our sins away
Who will tell you when you are wrong and support you when you are right
Who will allow you to lead like a man
Without putting up a feminist’s fight

I’m not gonna be the one reveling in the streets
Apart of a competition of showcasing my butt cheeks
Or one of the many getting high on everything in life
From Soca Jouvert parties to dancer’s Friday nights.

But I’ll be in the temple bowed humbly before God,
Whispering my prayers and singing worship songs
Making the preparations to walk through his heavenly gates
And knowing he created you
And so for you …
I’ll wait
