You follow me around
silently, violently..
Stalking me.
Praying on my happiness
draining me
Why won't you talk to me?
When I met you I was calling you my hero
Unaware of how dumb I must have looked
To you.
Acting as if I was unaware,
of the state of our Affairs.
You were not my hero but my love
You were the fire breathing dragon
Keeping me locked up in your tall tower.
Years went by under your horrible reign.
Seasons passed,
but this agony reminded the same
Walking on eggshells just to keep the peace
Didn't even notice how your ugliness rubbed off
On me.
Mamas always tell their daughters,
don't grow up too Fast
Preserve your heart,
Lil girl,
those too good to be true masks don't last
Now, I know the importance of my
MY independence
Now, I see the truth
I am the motherfucking hero and you don't even have a clue.
I've conquered colorism, sexism, and periods nigga the next on my list
Is you.
