If it’s the one kind thing l’d do for me today
Let not my heart cry foul to a passers by
Let me realize my self worth and not give in to the deception
Of a cup half empty posing as half full
For it is but a mirage, fickle and plagued with foibles
Let me rejoice in the comfort that no one can get to me unless l let them
Yes they love my lips, my hips, my body
But that’s as far as it goes
Like a thief in the night, they will sneak into me
But leave with the breaking dawn
Back to their pledged, back to sanity they call it
Piercing this person inside this body who is misled thinking they will realize
I’m real and not a fantasy, l will not be your fantasy
Your backup plan for a measly hour or two
Let me celebrate in my individuality
The nourishing of my essence, the beauty that makes me stand out
The rebirth of a better me
I do not need you
I’m a beautiful woman, made stronger by the realization that
Within me is the power to love exceedingly
Until you realize that leave me be
It’s the one kind thing l can do for me
