Inner strength


Look at me. I'm strong You think I'm weak? I bet I could beat you just with the words that I speak. I'm sick of being walked on, looked down on. Look at me. Straight in the face. I might be short but I'm stronger than you think You told me ' just do it' and Act on what I'm feeling. So here you go , are you ready?! Are you gonna listen? Or are you gonna look the other way and not pay attention? I'm a few inches shorter and only two days younger But my brain is a little bigger Not just knowledge from books, news or the past but knowledge of things you haven't even learned yet. You talk down to me like a child, so yeah I'm a kid at heart so what?! don't get angry when I speak the truth At least I'm strong enough to tell you. I know my faults and my flaws and all the thins I do wrong. Don't embrace it. Don't tell me what to do. I am My own person and I can't tell u how many times I wanted to give up on you. Such a dysfunctional relationship with you And I. I'm obviously the woman gettin disrespected, no appreciation or apologization. I let it to and let it go til it blows up in ur face but when I tell u , you don't own up to it. I'm strong because I let u know I'm wrong, or misinterpret shit. Always make excuses just tell me the truth. And maybe we can get back on track ... But I don't think I even want to.
