I am

I am a black woman

Smooth caramel mocha skin

Sweet

Addictive taste

to sample means to come back for more

Hypnotic

Sassy look

with a stare

I draw you to  me

Loyal

Honorable

Treat me Right, I'll Treat you Right

I am a Black Woman

Nowhere near perfect

Lots of Flaws

Prideful I stand to hide behind a buffer for past and future pains

and heartaches

I am a Black Woman

Here I stand with no discriminations

against the enemies of

Jealousy

Racism

No angel I be but no demon will take me
