“There's no prerequisites to worthiness. You're born worthy,
and I think that's a message a lot of women need to hear.”
Viola Davis

Kiss me until I forget
All those who swore
I would never find you,
Who said no one worth knowing
Would want me,
Who did not believe
I could be loved
By a good man,
And who led me
To believe
I am a failure
A a woman.
Kiss me so I never forget
They were wrong,
That I am wanted,
That I can be loved,
That I am a naturally
Beautiful woman
Worth knowing.
Kiss me just because
They are simply
Full of shit.
