Sensitive scalp, sensitive skin
Misunderstood the artist within
Nickel allergy; no pierced ears
My jewelry has to be real so it won't kill.
I come in four different shades just like the seasons.
I throw shade if you give me a reason.
Never conceived, never tried.
Daughter of a Cancer, born with pride
And I'm a Virgo until I die.

There's been plenty who wanted to lay me down.
Sadly, for some, that meant six feet under ground.
But you see as a diamond- I've been used to a lot of dirt.
Even been in a rut
but never been a slut.
Please don't let my sensuality
confuse you.
My artistic expression
elude you.
I am just having fun
on a run.
My purpose is more than surface.
It's a journey
Out of concern
To learn
To discern
As I return
Bàck to my Birthrightful Position.
~Benita
