"When you look in the mirror and don't like what you see, remember that..."
Written by Dear Black Woman Kalisha Trishell
“When you look in the mirror and don’t like what you see, remember that God hasn’t created anything that lacks beauty.”
Cry
Cry for the woman who has no home
Pray for her strength so she will no longer
feel alone.
Cry for the woman who lacks love for herself.
Because without it, she cannot give it to anyone
else.
Cry for the woman who is abused by her man,
Pray
that one day she will never feel the force of his
hand.
Cry for her children who witness her pain.
Pray that God shows them their living is not in vain.
Cry for the woman who cannot feed her soul,
Pray for the day that she can walk a street of
gold.
Cry for the woman who does not have financial freedom
Pray for her intellect, so that she no longer sees herself
as defeated.
Cry for the woman who lives life with no purpose.
Pray for the day that she is clear about who she serves.
Cry for the woman who has never received an applaud
Pray for the day that she is cleared for take off.
Cry for the woman who cannot see her own beauty,
Pray for the day her God calls her to her to duty.
Cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, oh my God,
why, why, why?
Please tell this woman why she cries.
He says, no worries my precious pearl, for every tear you
feel come out of your eye.
You learn to release the stress that can make you
die.
When you look in the mirror and don't like what you see
Remember that God hasn’t created anything that lacks
beauty.
It is a choice to live life to its fullest potential!
No matter what type of accolades you have
nor your fancy high tech credentials.
Celebrate the woman who is reading this poem, because
she is now one step closer to reaching her goal.
