fire starter
submitted by Celestial Blues

i am nobody's daughter
it's a humbling thing
it ain't that easy
swimmin' up stream
chasin' a high
chasin' a dream
it'd be much easier
not causin' a scene
to follow the path
of that gleam
and go on as if
it wasn't a thing
but inside i'd be
less than i should
so i follow a path
no average woman could
and so i remain
nobody's daughter
a wanderer,
a chameleon,
a fire starter

copr. 2001 e.n.i.
peace and blessings...

Diva That I Think I Am
submitted by Tracie Scott

Diva That I Think I Am
Head back
Chest out
Twissin' when I walk

Dare a brotha to whistle
Lookin' crazy if he don't
Diva that I think I am

Soft spoken
Educated
A force in a crowd
Gonna be a writer, doctor, mother, friend
Before I'm 25
Diva that I think I am

Hard headed
Kind hearted
Learn from my own mistakes

Got the planet on a string
Playing yo-yo on a whim
Diva that I think I am

Goal-oriented
Sophisticated
Got plans - I thought you knew

Gonna be somebody?
I am somebody
Was born somebody - gonna die somebody

Diva that I think
Diva that I know
Diva that I am.
