A Snake In The Field

A Snake In The Field

A snake called me crazy

Now she’s pushing up daisies (socially speaking)

Could never fall from grace for her

She loves too lazy

With lies so amazing

It’s hard to turn away

But her time is up with me

She ran out of good graces

Oh well, now I’ve got too many new beautiful faces

Got too many phases

You just have to keep up

Or get left in the dust

Everywhere I go their eyes are full of lust

But all I really need is genuine love 

Not for clout

Not for currency 

Or looks

Because then you’re doing too much

And that’s never enough

This piece was written in a moment of self-reflection on the relationships no longer in my life. Sometimes you don’t realize how toxic you’ve become around another or how toxic a person chooses to be with you, especially when they have a challenging time challenging the love and light inside themselves. A person can only love you as much and as deeply as they love themselves. I’ve learned never to question who I am and the love I have to give another. I just learned how to love myself and the right one. 

Sometimes it requires courage and the art of letting go to understand one deserves nothing but unconditional love in every way needed. This is the only way for one to begin to actualize their own power!
