Muddy

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
