900
I think dirty gorgeous
Filthy with wishes
I wish to be plain Jane beautiful
Simple long hair
Maybe a curl or two
Two bold brown eyes
Melanin for days
Enough to make God clap
In approval
Enough to make the earthquake
But I’m too dirty for that
I’m too filled with dusty hopes
Hoping that I’m good enough for you
Hoping I turn you on and
You love me
But I’ve yet to find someone to wipe the lint of this old book
I always thought it started with a simple look
A simple glance
Maybe even a touch of hands
But I’m too sinful for that
I’m too disgustingly attractive
I just want to be loved
Held down by the fact that you’ll never be anything
But you still do anything for me
I want to find someone who’ll treat my filth and clean white sheets
From hotels downtown
I want someone to treat my dust as cotton candy from small bodega and know that I’m too gorgeous to be close to filth
