sankofa143

drinking tons of pinot and looking at wedding dresses
I dont know why, I dont even have a boyfriend
The last one I sent 143 to, couldn't compute
The first one I sent those numbers to is married with kids, to be exact, 2.

I try my best to be all "woe is me"
but fuck the world because I really like "me"
and I know that I try my best so it's "all of yall" and NOT "me"

This is chapter two of my life
Im done growing and now Im looking back
if I was more of the "power to the people type" id get a Sankofa tattoo
but that is so unlike me,
to mark my body

If I look back...
 I stand in the mirror and look at my back
That is so like me
proud of every mark on my body


come to think of it.
 I probably wont even wear a dress on my wedding day
just show up naked
let every man see what they will never be able to have again
let my husband show me and my wonderful skin to all his groomsmen
let the church say "Amen"

So while Im here right now
I can see myself on that day drinking pinot and sitting in a wedding dress
and I'll look back at this day
take my dress off
and walk down the aisle
for chapter three of my life

and I'll say fuck the world
Im not promising to be with you

Then he will say "this is so like you"
and take his clothes off too
and he has the outline of a Sankofa tattoo that he was going to get, but then decided not to
