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​
 
nor am I a diva
like beyonce in a g string

beautiful poem sister

being proud of who you are is where it's at...

nuff respect

although i do beleive u have the Goddess in u.... or God whichever u prefer....

I'm glad u wrote this because there is a certain song that needed this written.....

one
 
i appreciate the humility


I am a just a woman
With a full heart's projector........ and a willing receiver​

you are more then "just" a woman

your body of work shows that

peace

I have no cutsy & creative acrostic
Invented to soften the caustic
Connotative urban definition
No, neither by condition nor ambition

wow
