Dark Beauty by Matasha Y. Lee

Dark Beauty by Matasha Y. Lee

You are not a mistake,
but a decision made within the heavens.
You were birthed in utter darkness,
But you brought light into the world.
You sung into the moons and the stars.
No you are not a failure but a completion
Of God's hands that molded perfection.
Every single part of you
From your skin to your nose
Was perfectly crafted so Beauty can know what it should look like.
Yes, Love honors your existence and your very being was made for a time as this.
Do you recognize the voice that you speak.
Do you honor the words that cross your lips.
You have forgotten that you are the pure gold
That man seek.
You are the enchanted one
That the world desires to discover.
You drive out hate with love.
You are the shadow in the dark moon rising.
The very echo in the waves of the sun.
You are the cause of commotion within the earth realm that evaporates nature to seek an answer.
Power bows down to you for you to do as you please.
You are the heavenly choice
And the Angels sit to wait to hear you sing.
Your skin is painted with the finest of the earth's core.
Your eyes painted with the whitest snow.
Your lips carved into perfection.
You are the starving artist's voice.
The rich man's treasure.
You are the clouds above that whisper
Well done.
You are molded to shape the thunder that roars in the sky and the lightening that strikes.
Fear not your hips and fine shape.
Fear not how you were created to be.
Everything about you is a story of unfolding.
Beauty's first song.
The night's lullaby.
Love who you are and
Agree with the manifestation of your being.
Let you not forget
Who you really are.
Not the identity given to you by the world or the name your mother called you.
She had her time to cuddle you and shape you,
But this is your season to speak and say,
This is Who I AM.
I have awakened from my sleep,
Tossed away the chains that bounded me.
I stand powerful in my truth.
Dark Beauty is my name.

I want to be born again by Matasha Y. Lee

I want to be born again by Matasha Y. Lee

Lay me down by the river
Place me in the water
Let my body feel every molecule
I will close my eyes
Do not lift me till you see my body fully transformed
When you see light open the sky
And hear a voice say, "Well done,"
Then let me go!
For when I rise,
I will not be the same.


Returning to the place of Drowning by Matasha Y. Lee

Returning to the place of drowning by Matasha Y. Lee

I sit at the bottom of the sea
Engulfed with the water
I lose sight of my last breath.
Above the surface is not where I desire
To resign.
My place is here,
Beneath it all
Desiring to swim but I only sit until I lay
And ask myself is this the place
Where I will let it all go
Every hope,
Every dream,
Every chance to see the sun awaken over my head
And the stars smile at me.
Is this it?
I release a tear as if it mattered.
It was within the water.
I release myself to float
After opening my eyes and I could still see.

It has been years since my drowning.
I really, at that moment, wanted to stay within the water.
I wanted to awake on the other side of the sun
And become back part of the stars.
I wanted to feel weariness go away.
I returned to the place of drowning
Not to return my body
But the chains.
I have no need for my past
All of my pages are empty.
A new life has emerged within me.
