Value Me

Attention and Appreciation

By Davon LundyPublished 7 years ago 1 min read
Photography: Lycurkis Lundy—Model: Diamond C. Marrero

Some are bound to be tight close to your emotions and feelings and then some will fall

please allow me to be curly with love given and appreciation

in every gram given show me the street lights and why I luster to others,

hair is the view,

brown my touch

burned by my blonde we deserve more than, “Oh I like you today” or “Oh you look nice.”

But, we need to know our volume is good. Tell me I do a job at training and conditioning;

if you allow me to lay with you, be a gentleman and get me a satin pillowcase. Show me you care about me and my host and not just my height after all. We all started off as a unit of protein.

About the Creator

Davon Lundy

I’m a photographer,graphic artist, growing up I struggled to express myself due to lack of social skills so I would struggle dealing with people so I stayed to myself and wrote how I feel and never forget it’s okay to express yourself
