Queen Bitch

Don't need a king to be a queen

I’m the Queen in my own path

I’m told I’m no queen without a king.

I say that is bullshit because there are a lot of Queens in this world who have made it without a King.

When I bring up valid Women who are Queens on their own, the boy who tried to decrown me is loss for words- funny how that works

Boys will tell you, you need a man to provide- ask what they are providing and they call you a gold digger.

Gold digger for what? Boy please I'm able to provide myself; with financials, stability, and housing.

Boys still insist you need them; please explain how I need you. Apparently, I’m now difficult. How can I be difficult if I am asking what it is boys bring to the table?

Boys are very quick to jump to what they want a woman to bring to the table; a mother to both him and to the children you may or may not want, a slave, a servant, a molly maid, a sex doll, a cook AND A still get a pay cheque and pay half the bills.

But when you turn around and say okay, if that's what you want from me, what is it you bring? What? That's a problem- my bad. Nah, I’m good
