Self Love 4/20/18

I walk still with my head held high,

And people watch as I walk on by.

I'm strong and fierce with a beautiful smile.

And I plan to keep it for awhile.

I'm tired of feeling like a puppet

So as to the hate, I'll just bump it

Off to the side because I am perfection

And to myself I'll give all my affection

I am not vain, though it may seem

I just love being me, for girls a rare theme

I'm tired of people pulling my strings

I'm going to pull back and spread my wings

Back up darlings, I'm a bomb ass bitch

Kind and smart enough to somehow bewitch

I don't mean to of course, but it can't be changed

I won't be someone I'm not, don't be deranged

I'm done pushing myself down, done with the self-hate

It's making it hard to focus and concentrate

Only the things that really matter, like love, life and happiness

To be a better woman, I'll stop and promise myself this

No more romance, no more arrows shot

No longer will I be so easily sought

If I like someone strongly I won't elaborate

I don't like these feelings, I don't want to date

I'll get my work done and I'll focus on my writing

And focus on the happy moments I should be highlighting

With Prom coming up I shouldn't feel bad for being single

There just aren't many boys that make my heart tingle

I'll dress up pretty, not for a someone, but for me

And I'll act the way that I want to be

And if you judge me I'm truly done caring

I'm not the one constantly comparing

If I dance, know it's because I'm free

To talk and laugh and sing and see

And if I do something you consider wild

I'm only bringing out my happy inner child

I want all of you, those who see or hear

To join in my self-love before you disappear

You are all wonderful creations of Life's own making

And so it's about time to live, cause Life is for the taking
