Self Love

By K

My heart, Constantly torn apart

By the lies you’d tell, The ideas you’d sell, Oh, why could I not see it from the start

Abusive with your words, Hurting me with every verb, You lowered my self-esteem, I didn’t know who to be I just knew I didn’t want to be me

And when your words cut too deep, And I wanted to leave, You sweetened your tongue, Words flowing as smooth as rum

Slick with your words, You convinced me to stay, To continue to play

In this toxic thing you called love

It took time

For me to finally realize Exactly what you were, Everything I didn’t deserve

A liar, A cheat, Someone who has nothing good for me, A little insecure boy

Looking for a new chew toy

Oh, but not me

You see,

My daddy said I am the apple of his eye, His reason to live or die I hold fate in my hands

So I decide

Who gets to be my ride or die

Who gets to hold my heart in their hands

And it definitely will be someone with some bandz

Maybe not a lot of ‘em, but enough to care for me

Because whoever ends up with me, Realizes I’m a real queen G

I am the right size, I am the real prize

And I’m all that I could ever wish to be
