Just Me

I’m ok being amethyst alone
No one to share my  humble home with
I guess I do miss a kiss
But is that lust or just
Just an infatuation to resist

I think I’m too selfish to love him
And at the same time like many
I’m self sacrificing because
We are given dolls to care for as girls
Taught to nurture the whole world
Yet never given permission to be
A recipient of the same emerald energy

Never taught that boy who hits you
Has no right phuck that HE LIKES YOU 
Never taught to get out your head
That girls want more than to be fed

The hard years of my life I was alone
The odd years of strife solitude was a throne
Sure I have basic needs
But that comes goes with burgundy breeze

I’m ok being alone with myself
I’m not so bad I am just and fair
And if God sent Prince Charming now
I’d send him packing at the next town

Not that I don’t believe God 
Just that I have peace at heart
Why add to my serenity 
When I’m ok alone with just me
