i'm still finding myself, yes.
still waundering, yes

i can't hold on anymore.
not to this.

when a woman finds her worth,
it's games over.
her radiance spills out,
and spreads like a flower.

i can't let you win,
i can't let you take my power.
i've given up letting you in,

i can't lose,
i know i can be strong.
i have to let these temptations go out.

i love you,
i love people with great souls,
but my self love, matters too.

you don't control me anymore.
i'm fighting these demons away,
what do you think i'm praying up for?

no matter what sympathy i have
in righteousness
i'm gonna get the last laugh.
