Innocently Selfish

My imperfect life is mine My purest love is mine My soulful touch is mine My honest smile is mine My deserved attention is mine My unwanted mistakes are mine My body of maze is mine My beating heart is mine Everything of me is completely mine It belongs to me, I can't share what I'm not done loving yet This women isn't afraid of the painful steps she will take, she always finds the way to where she needs to be This little girl was born to be undeniably somebody, for surviving the rainstorms that made her appreciate the sun that shines so bright She was afraid when She looked at herself in the mirror and saw all the missing love She wasn't giving herself She cried and knew how to fix it but always said I can't fix it Lying to myself is easy, making excuses is even easier, saying I couldn't do it made me feel like I was stupid I'm not stupid It's amazing how you can make a choice everyday, a change How beautiful it is to say I can do this and believe in yourself when you thought it was over To be persistent and faithful for what's to come your way It changes The bad times pass, then arrives the blessings You look back and say, damn I did this I take on every challenge like a hard pill to swallow I got you From women to women, believe in being innocently selfish You deserve it I'm excited for my life, it's been a lot of heartache I was allowing it to take me to my lowest, Dear me, I'm sorry, it's truly been a roller coaster I feel like the ocean now, my waves are getting stronger the more storms I live through, just wait on that tsunami It's coming Being a river was easier, following the flow was like already knowing the answers But I became too much of a women, so I became the ocean, not afraid of the damage Be the ocean Innocently selfish

Interesting. I am living in North Carolina and isn't there a Grimaldi coast somewhere. Jim Horn
