My True Essence

The Games You Play

I’m not amused by the games you play
By the things you do nor bullshit you say
I can tell you are used to playing with little girls
Who wear pigtails, cotton underwear and pearls
But I’m a grown ass woman you see...
That’s what I am and will always be
So when you are done playing at recess
Dealing with little girls and their mess
Come on over to the grown and sexy side
Because that’s where I reside…

My True Essence

Make It Work

Even though I stand tall
I often trip and fall
Sometimes I’m down so low
I think of just letting go

Letting go and giving in

Seeing no light at the end
Struggling to make it every day
Figuring out what to and not to pay

HE never said life would be easy or fair

But HE promised to always be there
Even when others don’t treat you right
Or when you just want to give up and fight

Even thru it all I still manage to smile

Because quitting is not my style
So I will get up and knock off the dirt
And do what I have to do to make it work
