i am so much more than what i wear,
more than my smile or my twisted hair....
i am so much more than the dna ingrained in me...
more than religion or the name that was given to me..
i
am
so
much
more.

i am so much more than the popular stereotypes
I defy all of the generational stigma and hype
For I am an eternal soul with beginning or end
No age or time to which my spirit must confine or bend
i
am
so
much
more.

i am so much more than what i've been showing
But I am evolving because of your mind knowing
you knew i was full of it..and i knew i was full of it..full of fear....
to scared to step out the box and endure the cross i must bear...
i
am
so
much
more.

i am so much than i been choosing to exhibit
but today I take away all that which prohibits
and willingly choosing to submit to none but one
My life HIS way from here on out is way it shall be done
i
am
so
much
more.
 
i am so much more than more
more than the dark sky that hangs
like a condemned victim
over my house some nights
while i sleep in peace
His breath breathing love
into my nostrils teaching me
to inhale love into myself

i am so much more than ink
flowing across a blank page
gathering...pooling and soft
in the eyes of a reader's mind
for if you glance closer
you will always catch me falling
but still plucking stars
from heaven's foot stool to place in my heart
so that later when i pray i can
offer Him back some of the beauty
He instilled in me

i am so much more than hair and flesh
i am a black beautiful woman
formed and loved by God.

holding your hand sis
for
WE
are
so
much
more

Yes!

In my opinion that is what spirituality is all about.:heart:
