I Want More

By Zenabu FaroukPublished 5 years ago 6 min read

I want More

I want more out of this Life

More than a Mother /Womb

More than a Lover

More than a Wife

More than a Sister

More than a Friend

I want Me

I want More

For Me

I want Significant

For Me

More keeps Gnawing at My Head And Heart

More won't Leave Me Alone

More is Nudging Me

More Drives Me Crazy

I Have To Move

For More

For Me

I am Inspired

By Other Women Who Stamped their name in History

They weren't even Showing Off their little or fat ass

They were Showing Their

Humanity

Heart

Intelligence

And Bravery

And Here They Are

In Eternity

Rosa Parks got eternity in a bus .

No, not By Booty showing

Or Sex videos .

She refused to leave her seat

In 1955

That , is BadAssery

That , is Bravery

I want More Of Her

More of That

More of Sojourner Truth ,” Ain’t I A woman ?”

Why can't we be inspired by That ?

I'm I Old School ?

I want to be able to do stuffs People think I can’t Do

Like Serena Williams

I Detest , " You Cannot and Shouldn’t "

Brings the Bad And Bold In Me

Puts Me in an Invisible Mode

Puts me in " You - Cannot - Fuck - With - Me - Mode "

I am a Woman

I am Defying It

I am Rebelling

And I am Enjoying It

I want to take my last breath with

A Cocky Grin

When death knocks

And we all know its a motherfucker

I don’t want to be fazed by its Intrusion and Rudeness

Because l am the woman who Lived

I want the Pacesetter

The trail blazer

These Feelings Excite Me

Kids and haters are watching

I want me in MORE

And I want MORE

A Woman

In History

In Books

Glossy Magazines

In Google

And in Posters in Little Girls or Boys

Bedrooms .

African kids in villages reading with lamps and candle in a Cramped Rooms

Dreaming and Working and Changing

To Be Someone Better

To be like Me

They need an Inspiration

They need A Face

My face, Even if wrinkled

My face in Offices of women striving

Women going against the Odds

I want my money Traced

My wealth Tallied

My money Bullshitting

Making Changes

For the Underprivileged

Not a status show of My Annoying Superiority

I Want My Money Traced To My Sweat

And not my Booty

I want my effort Synonymous With Intelligence and Badassery and Effort and Love

I don't want my effort Soiled And my Brains Undermined

Becos I used My Booty

Its called LEGACY

I want to be mentioned along side Great Women

The women who defied their gender

And societal little like-minded ways

Women whose efforts were and are Hotter

Than a six -packed hottie with mascara and tattoos

I am More

I am a WOMAN

I want overriding

I want my money tied to my intelligence

My persistence

My ability to crawl back to the top

My strive Naked

After I am Down

My Resistance

My Persistence

To nay sayers

Bared To Inspire Little girls

A she wolf

I want Bravery

And chutzpah

I want my effort Echoed Beyond Eternity

I don’t want my existence dominant only until the demise of my great grand child

I want strangers googling my name

Because my efforts and work and love for life and humanity has pushed them to action

I Want My Wrinkled Face To Make Little Girls Want Aspire to Greater Heights

I want Pretty Black Girls Talking about my name and dreaming to surpass my accolades and achievements

I have always felt Uncomfortable when am put in just a tight little box

And my Importance ascribed to A Man

Or My Booty

That Bothers Me

A Lot

One that Tags You to Only A Womb

And Wife

And Mother

I am very Greedy For More

I Don’t want to make the news Because I used a man For A Car

Or House

Or A Cheap Fake Shoes

Whats Cute About That ?

To Be Used By by an ugly ass Man with money who can't spell my name and give me an orgasm?

That aint Pretty and Smart

I am Attracted To Independence And Intelligence

I Don’t Want To Be With A Man I Can’t Stand To Be With

But For His Money

That will be Degrading

To My Mind

My Self - Esteem

My Woma- ness

My Ability

To Do Better

Be Better

All By Myself

I want to be a Woman to a Man that got the fat hots for me

That want me so bad

That wants My Soul

And Vice Versa

The creator

He got better plans for me to Pursue

One beyond a Use For money

I don't want my achievements tied to A Man

Fuck that Shit

That will be a Substandard

A Deviation

An Insult

For Me

An insult To my Worth

And Intelligence

As A Woman

To be what it's called a " Slay queen "

What is that term anyway ?

What does it Mean ?

Is it like Slaying Dragons ?

Because I would have been exceedingly susceptible to that idea

They tell Me

What ?

Thats Unacceptable

Unsatisfactory

Garbage

I liked the word Slay

In “Formation “

That was Inspiring

So I put it in Repeat

I want that kind of SLAY

A woman who got Money and Dignity more than a lot of Men

Through Hard work and Guts and Intelligence

A Woman whose face is on a Statue

And Not On A fucking Sex Video

Or A hired booty showing off her bad fashion to feel good about herself in the name of “ inspiring “ women on social media

Come Again ? Doo - Wop

I want I want

A woman whose effort is put on a Pedestal

That's Dignity

That's Sexy

Inspiring

That my darling “ slay queen “

Is SLAY

Ask Beyoncé

I want that Type

I want Stupendous

Towering

Titanic

Extensive

Extended

I don't want the Public Humiliation of a

“Slay queen “

Fighting , exchanging bad words and dirty laundries

Shamelessly

Over A Man

Damn

Who raised these Ignorants ?

Is that suppose to be Hot ?

Or Trending ? Scintillating ?

Geez , read a fucking Book

Or find A Cause

A Laudable Cause

Your value as a female is not on your

ASSS

Or My ASS

My value is in My Mind

My sexiness is in My Soul

And Strut

And Intelligence

I cannot belittle myself

And women before me

The ones that Made It Possible for Me

To Vote

Wear Pants

Bikini

Open a Bank Account

Drink a freaking beer

Freely

And Ask for an orgasm from My Man

I have to make Me Proud

Make these women efforts worth a while

I cannot let My Self Down

Or my Creator

I got bigger Shoes

"They" say I am Crazy

Ahh

But I have always been Crazy

"They" say its impossible

I scoff

My mama says its Possible

She is Right

So I am going to more than Try

I am going to Do It

Why ?

Becos I have to proof to My Self

My Nieces

Little kids looking to see a Woman

Do Amazing shits Without A Man

Without Being Used By A Man

Looking To Be inspired

They need To Know

That it is absofuckingly POSSIBLE

For A Woman To Soar

And Be Somebody

Without Being Used

By A Man

My magnificent and marvelous sisters

Including those oblivion

To their amazing power and

And worth beyond

They To Know

That Their Worth

Is Not On Their

An Ass

Little Kids Need To Know

That A Woman

A WOMAN in progressive Motion

Without A Man

Is Sexier

It’s A Safe High

A Safe Feeling

And I love Sexier

Little girls love Sexier

And they will be Watching

To learn and Be To Become

SEXIER

Coz its Eternity

I want Eternity

I want MORE

Is it impossible ?

No

Is is it Hard ?

Yes

I am Hard

And hard is MORE

inspirational
