When You Hold On To

I Used To Think I Was Ugly. I Thought I Looked Like A Camel. A Person Who Doesn't Love Themselves, They Will See Anything That Pops Up On Their Face. I've Seen Squirrels, I've Seen A Bird, And I've Seen All Kinds Of Animals On My Face. But That Is The Result Of Self-hate. I've Learned To Say: 'you Know What? I Am A Beautiful Black Woman'.

This Music Business Can Suck All The Love Out Of You, All The Compassion For People - You Can Start To Think You're Better Than Them. But I Want To Continue To Let People Know That I'm No Better And No Worse, I'm Just Like You.

I Can Tell You I Didn't Feel Good When I Could Not Articulate Properly. Getting My Ged Was Important And I Want Other Women To Feel That.

I've Been Praying To God To Show Me How To Forgive Myself. Because... Maybe... That's The Thing I've Been Searching For.
