corny ass poem - tenesha the wordsmith lyrics

sometimes i wanna write a corny -ss poem
i wanna be all h-llo sun
thank you for opening your eyes
i wanna write about the wind tasting my face with it’s fingers
i wanna personify animals like i’m in some fairy tale
patriarchal disney movie with misogynistic overtones
and dancing phallic symbols
can i please be a damsel in distress
i’ll fall into prince jamal’s arms
mount his n-ble steed
and then back
and then ride into the sunset
reality
i’m at work
jamal ain’t check on me all day
and i am wondering
do black chicks get rescued?
if i sit alone in the forest
allow myself to slip into a daydream
will a unicorn lay it’s head in my lap
i wanna be an african cinderella
[?] daughter
flowing dress made of gossamer
and dance barefoot on marble floors
the clock strikes twelve and i race to my carriage
leaving behind one golden sandal
the only clue to my true ident-ty
reality
the clock strikes 6am, i’m running late for work
moving through morning traffic
my carbon print the only clue to my ident-ty
i am the black woman who cut you off in traffic
while singing existential theme songs from children’s movies
no ones knows i’m a black girl dreaming
the line from up high will always look blurry to me
i am a woman working
corny -ss poems aren’t supposed to appeal to me
i’m a black woman with bills
fantasies not meant for me
i’m a strong black woman
romantic love is supposed to be impractical to me
i am a black woman
i show up
but sometimes i am still missing
