Honey might be sweet but not sweeter than me

The beauty of being a woman & all that stays with me

So effortlessly

The time I take to pray on things ,

The time I take to show up for me

Sweet, on the interior what makes up honey.

I just want some of your time

I’m always going to get my own money

are you strong & secure enough to keep in my company.

Sweeter than the sweet love Anita Baker has me thinking of

Even in times of defeat there’s still no one nicer than me, paid the price for that too many times over

Might be sweet but not sweeter than me,

I know my power doesn’t solely rely on what’s between my thighs.

Good head on my shoulders so they try to seduce me with lies.

Sweeter than honey,

Because I can’t run away from me

it’s the beauty in me that’s just as sweet as the smile on my face on the outside. I can’t deny now that I’ve learned that it has to apply , stick like honey 🍯.

A sweet soul once learns in her lifetime that everything that sticks isn’t gold. You won’t always do what you’re told when you know that it’s wrong.

Sweeter than honey,

That’s why nobody else can take nothing else from me. I’ve put others needs before mine some say I’m too sweet.

There’s no such thing right? That is me
