Dedicated to my friend Shana Marie Green

On Point (Life of a well-kept woman)

I keep it tight and everything on point not for the boys playing men, but

I do if for the love----

The love of me is what makes me stay on point.

I don’t need a shallow perception of who others think I should claim to be.

Nor do I sustain off the glam of the words of those who starve to fit.

I conform to my own way of living because my life isn’t fulfilled by man but by God alone.

The point is the essence of who I am and strive to be.

It is the inner strength that supports me when I am torn down by the stereotypical malarkey

I am horse fed by the masses who only want to change me into a manufactured image of the ideal woman.

I do it for the love----

The love of me is what makes me take that extra minute in the mirror.

I don’t need a shallow perception of who others seek to make me be.

Nor is my thirst for excellence quenched by people’s unhealthy admiration.

I transformed from a girl, to a lady, and now a woman because I decided to make it a point of importance in my life to keep myself on point.

I do it for the love--- the love of me.
