When A Woman Walks
When a woman walks with confidence, you see it. You see it in the smile on her face, the swing of her hips. She expresses herself through her newfound wit, and you see the genuine smile on her lips. Maybe it's the new hair color, or the contour she worked so hard on. She walks a little taller; all that self-doubt is gone. She never thought she'd get here, since people always set out to keep her down. But now her demons look at her with a sneer, and all she does is fix her crown. She walks with a new gait, knowing who she is now. She brushes off the hate, realizing she'd reach her dreams somehow. When a woman walks with confidence, you see it. You see it in the set of her shoulders, the look in her eyes. She expresses herself through her new makeup kit, and you see her new conviction come to rise.

I Told You & You Told Me
I don’t get it, I treated you so well I held onto you, I was killing myself, you told me you loved me, and I was so stupid I believed it, watching you tear my heart into pieces, you told me you cared, but I felt you didn’t, 'til we really hit the end and I knew you couldn’t, to watch you move on, it hurt like a bitch, even though you already knew that my heart wasn’t always built as strong as a brick, I told you my past and that I wanted us to last, but then I told you it wouldn’t last if you keep doing the same shit in the past, but the way things went I knew how you wer thinking, I felt you, I felt how you were feelin', but the shit you did put me through the ceiling, that's the moment when my emotions ran high and I felt as if I wanted to die but instead I just sat there and cried wishing the shit you said to me wasn’t a lie.
