Turning The Page

As you look into my eyes

I can feel the distance

The separation

Between heart & mind

The way you look at me

Has changed

Is it how I look or my brain

I know I must dig deeper

Figure out self

It’s hard to do that

When there’s no one else

Seeking the higher me

I can’t see through my tears

Pain is what I’ve endured countless years

I mostly cry alone

I wanna lash out in rage

That though gets me nowhere

So now I must turn the page

It’s blank

No words or pictures

I gotta write my own story

As I move on

I hope to feel glory

Knowing I’ve gotten away from something that didn’t understand

Something that made me feel less than

Again it is self , that I must look to

There’s no one who can make you feel anyway but you

Sometimes it gets hard when you’ve been through pain

Some wounds may have healed and others stayed the same

Less than is how I feel

Not beautiful enough for thee

Deep inside myself is the confidence I seek

To rise above others opinions

To know who I am

I know I am worthy

I know that I can

No matter who sees me

No matter where I go

I’ll hold my head high

As I sit upon my throne

I’m a Queen with much to give

I will never settle for less

The toxicity that’s brought

Puts me to the test

The limits I will go to stay above not below

It’s up to me to understand

My journey and growth

Signed - A Queen
