I’m taking back my hard no’s
Uncensored and unfiltered
And a true reflection about how I really feel
About you asking me to cross my boundaries
Conformity’s reward is that everyone likes you but yourself
And I crave a relationship with myself that is honest
Where I can stand the girl in the mirror and
Say I am correctly dating her and ferociously guarding her worth
When you come to my arena greet my brokenness with grace
But test my maturity with how relentless I am to heal
I’m taking back the permission I subconsciously gave you
To criticize what I do for a living
When I did not proudly own it
You no longer have the power to
Make me smaller than you want to
I am now the elephant in the room
Clearing the air from your suffocating opinions of me world
Yes I suffer weakness
But you will do well to remember
To stop clothing me with the skin and face of your monsters
I’m taking back my slow mornings
Unrushed and detached from everyone else’s pace
Where I can hear my thoughts thinking:
I am not indebted to yesterday
Today is the moon and I will walk on it
I have my chance and I will not waste it
Seeing is believing? no believing is seeing
And I see me
I see me reaching the horizon of my destiny
And my actions? They reflect it
Today is prophetic
I’m about to move like a stallion
