Thick
labels do not define me
I am rich with this
Swelling with promise
Uncompromising
and as strong
as the thighs that guide my independence
I am a diva
Cloaked
with possibility
Empowered
by my freedom
to take pride in every
part of me
I am a warrior
My heart
is my shield and sword
I am the light
Breaking through
the seams of night
I am the lioness
dogs find in the moon
the stars
highlight the coils
of my mane
I am a Goddess
My skin has been kissed
by the Son
I am the Mother of Nurture
The world is cradled
in my hips
I am thick with this
