I’ll never look for another human
to pick me
and that’s fine.
I’ll lay alone,
thankful for the peace in me I find.
Bet it’s real lonely
in that bed without his arms,
wrapped around my waist
I bet no other woman beside him
Compares to our bond
His ego,
His lack of self-love
makes his presence a waste.
Never looking back,
never holding grudges against me because of him,
that’s whack.
I’d rather sit on my throne
and conquer this world alone.
Lather myself in honey,
wear fake diamonds
Pretend I have no money
Keep the ones that tell me how they really feel
At least I won’t have to wonder if the people
with access to me are really real.
When I’m not surrounded by the finer things
When things are looking down
I’ll keep a close eye on who truly sticks around.
Remind myself how precious
each minute being alive is.
That healing isn’t linear
but someone who lacks emotional depth is.
And if that’s who they wanna be forever
that’s their business.
Praying doesn’t make you spiritual,
and making mistakes
doesn’t make you the devil.
Sometimes you gotta leave them where they are
to get yourself
to the next level.
It’s okay, queen,
you tried your best
to open his eyes,
to mend what was wrong with truth
He wasnt ready for yet.
Don’t beat yourself up,
adjust your crown.
If he didn’t hear you then,
what makes you think
He’ll listen now?
This is a new beginning,
a chapter you never knew.
The universe had plans
some things are just
bigger than you.
And that’s cool.
You can’t fix something
you didn’t break.
But you can always remember
your life
is what you make it.
You’re a queen.
Forget what these men who hate themselves tell you you are.
With that intelligence and pretty face,
you’re bound to go far.
Yeah, you’re a star
don’t dim your light
thinking that a man is the moon.
The moon watches YOU dream.
Your flaws are your beauty,
you’re more than what a man sees.
Protect your body,
shield your peace.
Not everyone deserves your energy.
Guard your heart,
but let it bloom
the right love won’t rush,
it’ll make room.
You’re made of grace,
of thunder and calm.
Biblically created,
protected by God himself and Psalms.
So stand tall, queen,
and if they ever make you feel like nothing,
never forget
It’s factual and written in time that
you are blessed.
