The Embrace
I live alone!
saying I enjoy my solitude does not mean I wish to be lonely
I just want someone to learn my peace before I welcome them into my kingdom
disrupted I am a mess
the one they call the bitch
refusing to be like them
I become; what they call high and mighty
but the accusation is of a act
...
honey
...
I am.
you see
I was born a queen
that's why I will step and be the first to say
I am self centered but I am not selfish
my focus must be myself!
but when it reaches
...
Honey
when it reaches
Zeus himself will hand me a lightning bolt to strike as I please!
But these hands are gentle.
...
I do not walk the path they pathed
...
I am not controlled by material gain
But wisdom
I seek to be the wises fool there is
...
each time I fall I rise up
is that not mighty
my tongue could be as sharp as a blade
but a weapon that destroys it is not
not to you
but for me ...
I have felt it all
so forgive me; for not placing myself in your shoes,
but I no longer wear that size
solitude was not just my gift
but a blessing in disguise
