Moulting
This ain't about you
At first
I thought it was
I couldn't get you out of my head
Seeing your pretty ass sitting on that bed
Taunting me
Looking down at my legs and seeing the meat I don't have
Close my eyes and there's your fingers over that cheap faux fur
Blonde tips and full lips
Looking at me
I know you're reading this and so I just thought you should know
This ain't about you
Or him
Or the her that was before you
At first
I thought it was
But thank God for therapy and the discovery that
It's about my own insecurities
You ain't add to them I already had them
Now I'm moulting them like pigeon feathers
And that which are abraded won't be replaced
My strength is so damn strong it hurts
I am a hell of a woman
I don't even know
How I'm still teaching these kids
And how I'm still building up these girls
Im lying
I know exactly how
It's cause my ability to lead don't come from the fractured glass heart that I gave so naively
My power comes straight from Spirit
Gifts preordained in this vessel that is my body
And pardon me if I am confusing you beloved
Writing you contradicts me saying
This ain't about you
But the fact is, I am a writer
And if I don't write it down,
it ain't real.
I like this ^_^
