My Sistas' Skin
December 20, 2004By Lisa Bartley-Lacey

 

My sista's skin is beautiful
All soft like Baby's Breath
Faint honey tones to pewter-gold
Then sweetest sable depths

My sistas' skin been scarred & torn
Beneath the burgundy
& velvet fields where we were born
My sista...cries to me

My sista's skin done lied to her
To every eye it's found
Except the Truth inside of her
That flows out from her--
napp, kinky, silk or wavy CROWN

My sistas' skin ain't covering
God's most adored Creation
Or Light that mocks the smothering
Of dark repudiation

My sista's skin is beautiful
From her head & all it Knows
To my sistas' ancient Soul
& down out from her toes

My sista's skin is beautiful

Just like my sista's Soul

When someone shows you that they can't be respectful to you to support you, you need to take that in account. When someone is not around when you really need them, how can you trust them to have your back in rougher times. With the person I called myself in love with, he lied about things, he didn't have my back on things, and I had to rationalize about things by lying to myself. It's not a good thing to do to yourself. And you deserve much better.
It has been said that when the student is ready the teacher arrives. Prayerful creative visualization arrived as a tool and a gift from God for my friend and me when we were ready to see life in a different way. My friend gravitated to the idea of using creative visualization because she wanted to change her life as much as I did. She was sick and tired of suffering. She wanted to enjoy her life. Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired yet? When you have had enough of dissatisfaction, unhappiness and living below your potential, you will be ready to use prayerful creative visualization.
I have never been so happy with my hair, my skin, my nature my AUTHENTICITY before. I feel like a Queen...a God-CROWNED Queen! I have also never experienced such a wide range of reactions to my hair. My hair for me has become my own personal study on culture, on human nature and on sisterhood. When I embraced this particular way of wearing my hair I must confess that I was not as aware of it’s implications as I am today. Those who have known me for a number of years know that I have gone from color to color, style to style and in and out and back again with my hair. I have always LOVED trying out different hairstyles and just being creative with it. Dreads, however have been an experience that no other "hair-fancy"of mine has ever been for me before.
