Be the Queen
She started with a quiet whisper in my ear
Telling me some things I needed to hear
But her whisper soon turned into a shout
"Hey girl let me your inner ***** out"
She said "Stop all the people pleasing
End all that giving in and appeasing
Quit being a doormat for people to wipe their feet
Think of yourself and cease taking a backseat
Girl you need to listen to me your inner voice
Keep getting walked on or stand up;make a choice
Being the pushover has to end
There will always be someone you offend
You have to stop playing the supporting role
It's time for you to take back control
You must begin to be true to yourself
Quit putting your needs and wants on a shelf
Become concerned with your happiness and contentment
Or you'll end up with bitterness and resentment
It's your life to live and yours alone
So start being the queen and sit on your throne"
