Finally Loving Myself

At last I have become pride I have gotten rid of the poison between my thighs I have risen above my expectations to become a prize It took a while But I am finally loving myself to a smile I am no longer walking; I am running a mile And it feels good to be free Free from his grip Not just the one upon my hip But the one that kept telling me I could take a hit Not a physical one, No But a mental one, Yes He stripped me from the "S" on my chest I couldn't save myself anymore I would hurt myself and my core But no more I am finally loving myself That's something I couldn't have imagined in the past But since I have my pride at last I feel like I am on the right path My aura has changed It has become one of strength with no rage Power released from its cage Not like the caged bird that sang because it was not free But how the rose that grew from concrete conquered its dream I'm moving on to greater things
