I always get asked the question about how I would describe myself.
"Outgoing"
"Energetic"
"Hopeful"
"Kind"
A bit on the crazy side ... Oh who am I kidding? I'm a lot on the crazy side, and just maybe very "conceited"
But I dont see why I can't be.
I know that I'm beautiful inside and out, but I've always wondered why you never let me show it...
It has taken me years to fathom the tragedy of holding you in my embrace. Allow me to elaborate;
I looked at you as my comfort and my muse
All you did was abuse the trust I put in you
Ignite the pyre within our chaotic feus
It's been years, I'm still broken and confused
Suffocated by memories that allude a better view
Broken mirrors can still come together with a pseudo glue...
I hate myself for drinking your sour jus
Admit that it was I that held us together, like a one man cabin crew
It was all hands on deck, controlling me with your vindictive brew
Slashing my passions, until I was solely focused on you
It's been years...
I'm still not over what you put me through...
I decided after giving everything to you that I will no longer put myself second
I wear my favourite colour and I no longer second guess it
Embracing my sensuality, empowered and free
I look in the mirror,my body covered in a crimson glow and I picture your face disgusted with me
"You slut" "You whore" "You bitch"
I already know what you would say...
So I fix the wing on my eye
Put on some red lipstick and smile
I'll stand tall with my heels on
Turn to the side a little so my ass shows
Get the perfect angle
Show off the colour you saw as demeaning
I hope you watch me recreate it as empowering
I'm meant to be loved and respected
Not treated like your personal toy
I'm meant to be shown of
Not kept in your little box like an old doll
At one point I loved you... Only you.
You turned that love into hate
My feelings for you are gone
I'm finding myself
I know I will love me and treat me the way I deserve
You weren't a mistake in my life, but rather a lesson
And trust the lesson was well learnt
I'm happy now and I know I will be for a long time...
