God Speaks
I watch your steps every day,
but why is there such of lack when you pray?
I took time with you, my child, so why don't you appreciate your face?
I gave you that skin tone in favor of your ancestors,
so why do you wish to be a shade lighter?
I blessed you with a variety of food choices,
so why do you wish your waist were tighter?
And why do you look at your teeth that way?
Are you afraid that those teeth won't help you on the run-way?
but modeling isn't what I have in plan for you, my child,
so stop stressing about being fat,
And why do you lock yourself in the restroom and cry like that?
You can't stay away from the mirror,
but yet, you're not pleased with what you see,
Sometimes it makes me feel as if you're giving up on me,
Why are you beating yourself up about those stretch marks,
time will help them fade away, just tell me where to start,
We're slowly falling apart, my child,
and that's breaking my heart,
I once heard you say you hated yourself,
but I just cant imagine why,
It hurt my feelings when you look in the mirror and suddenly start to cry,
What is wrong with you, my child?
Please don't let life pass you by,
Can you give me a piece of what's on the inside,
Let your high knowledge mask your forehead,
and your positive thoughts mask your face,
Let your faith mask your waist,
Let your big heart mask your breast,
and let me do the rest,
I worked hard with you,
so stop being so upset,
And stop giving up on prayer,
but expecting the best,
Don't give up on me, my child,
we haven't finished yet,
We have so much to accomplish,
and we haven't even met,
But you do still believe in me?
I watch your steps every day,
but why won't you just be free?
I took time with you, my child,
I just wish you could see.
