Not For Us Poem by Brittany Jones

Livin for me does not mean i'm changing for us.
It means making my life easier so my dreams can come true.
I'm learning that i'm beautiful.... Yes i'm just as beautiful as the girls on b.e.t and m.t.v and even the ones on the movie screens.
I'm learning that i have been washed, NO not in a tub with lots of bubbles(those are nice though) but i've been washed in blood.
That blood made me pure it took away my faults and created something new. No longer am i like the cracked cement which has been walked and trampled over but i'm more like the tree that stands talls. Yes sometimes i will be broken because of the seasons storms but those only come to make me stronger for next season. So now you ask do i need US. Well now thats a trick question because in the since of me and you NO! ! ! But i do need an us.. because thats the one that connects me with my father and his holyspririt. SO no i'm changin for us because i'm livin for me
