I placed you on a pedestal of silver and gold
Sew you a robe of diamonds-
a sight to behold.I made you a crown with sweat and blood
I called you a King yet made you a god
I sang your praises like a nightingale
I was yours to every avail.I forgot that I am beautiful
I am strong
Love is not demeaning
I had it all wrong.I forgot that I am special
I am my own Queen
I am complete
from without and within.*******
