1 - Mama never told me to fall for a 6 foot plus with beautiful brown skin, with a wavering heart and a trim "too damn loud".
2 - Mama never told me that I would fall for the depth in his voice, the twinkle in his smile and the sadness in his eyes.
3 - Mama never told me about the joy I would get from loving my own. That it would be like
getting a bag to pack in my insecurities, fears and doubts.
4 - Mama never told me about the drugs in the sheets and the dealer with his hands in between my thighs.
5 - Mama never told me how a man once made her feel the night he forced his stick into her hole.
6 - Mama never told me how she pinched, scratched and bit because her first time was against her will. That it would be 19 years again, before she would be bold enough to talk about her first time.
7 - Mama never told me that my first time would hurt as much as it did. That it would be only worth doing with someone who respects and deserves my soul.
8 - Mama never told me how deep issues of the flesh really are.
9 - Mama never told me to close my eyes, take a deep breathe, hold tight and get ready for the ride.
10 - Mama never told me that the first time after my Apple has been bitten by a slithering snake, my eyes will be opened to a whole new world.
