“Does it surprise you
That I dance
As if I have diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs”
Maya Angelou wrote these words
I claim them as my own mantra
Because I know full well
That my sexiness
My sassiness
Rubs some people all wrong
They look at me as if I should be ashamed
Or that I’m too much
And I am, for them anyways
Because I dance as if I have diamonds in the meeting of my thighs
I rise up
Let the music take my body
Wherever and however
It so desires
I dance
As if there’s a fire of passion
Burning within me
It’s one of the times
When I feel most alive
My body and soul
Become one
And I’m not ashamed
Not one bit
Of the diamonds that are in the meeting of my thighs.
