Miss Lady Envy
I use to look in the mirror and try to define me.
Try to see why I felt like the world was against me
Until I realized that there are not enough words to define pure beauty.
Nor are there enough words to define a young lady like myself
I can look in the mirror and say “Shanita you are a beautiful person
You have so much class and you demand respect from everyone
Shoot you demand respect from a fly.
That’s just your nature. You’re nice to people even if you don’t like them,
your kind to people who aren’t very pleasant.”
All I know, is that I am Shanita but I consider myself to be
Miss Lady Envy
Because I’m me and there’s not too many people who can say that
It’s funny but it’s true, I may not have all the designer clothes
But I look good in whatever I wear,
I may not have long pretty hair; but the beauty supply store does,
I may not know everybody in the world but everyone knows ME
When they see ME.
I know one thing for sure no one can wear the shoes I walk in
Nor can they handle the mouth I use to talk, Man
They can’t even work the hips that I have but what can I say I’m
Miss Lady Envy
So ladies and now gents in closure I’d like to say being me is
Physically Impossible so stop trying
Even if I gave classes in being me you’d fail so let’s save time and
energy in just start being you.
Define who you are, do not let others do it for you.
Remember you are all you have to offer to the world.
You are the only person who can represent YOU..
DO IT WELL AND MAKE MAMA PROUD ©Shanita Bianca Holloway
