Understanding
I was always special
Didn't need every man showering me with compliments to make me feel good
I don't have low self esteem
I demand respect, not likes
So stalking my pics everyday doesn't make me feel wanted
It just makes me feel uncomfortable
Cause unlike so many, I'm comfortable in my being
I know what it means to sit in silence and to sit alone
I don't need a crowd or backup
Don't look for any line sisters
Cause I pledged Me Phi Me
I stand alone, I tend to sit alone
But that doesn't mean my spirit doesn't shine like a light
Enough that I don't have to look for anyone
They spot me before I even hit the door
It is my heart that I rather you recognize
My versatility to balance both my femininity and masculine qualities
Listen to my voice in my writing
Just because I'm quiet doesn't mean I'm not saying anything
I speak volumes in my work
And though I am reserved
Never hesitate to check me out
Because I am that girl
I am different
I am troubled
But I'm a woman of understanding
Willing to understand you, if you try to understand me
