I am not Diva.
I have never sung an operatic aria
I have never packed any concert hall
'Nor been asked for a souvenir of my autograph's scrawl
I have never been draped in great carats of any precious gem
Nor ever had a lady's maid behind me, holding my gown's hem
Never been in sequined attire, sparkling in rhinestones
Nor created my own inspired parfums & namesaked colognes
I have never backed my own fashion designs
My presence has never formed long waiting lines
Just to see my face
Nor my whereabouts set paparrazi to trace
No, I am not a "Diva."
I am just a woman with a longing fever
To be loved and held
I am not some "Goddess," divinely bred
No, I am merely a woman, divinely led
To return in kind, impelled to weld
My side to his like the original Rib to Rib
No, I am not a "Diva"
I am just a woman, a nuturing believer
With no slick repartee nor by nature glib
I am not a "Diva"
Literally nor figuratively,
No magic spell weaver
I don't summon erections
To convince you of my sex appeal
No, I'm just a woman, keeping it real
Telling you what I want and how I feel
I have no cutsy & creative acrostic
Invented to soften the caustic
Connotative urban definition
No, neither by condition nor ambition
Because, I AM NOT A "DIVA"
I am a just a woman
With a full heart's projector........ and a willing receiver
