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
