Know Your Value Princess

Too many damn women selling themselves cheap today.
     Pick up your chin and wipe that tear away.
          Stop living in the shadow of that man,
               who continues to bring you down.
                    Be your own captain,
                         and put back on your crown.
                               Start focusing on you,
                                    No need to second guess.
                                         Remember your value-
                                              It's priceless!
You used to have big dreams.
     Why else would you go to college?
          Now your goals are downstream,
               and wasted are the diploma and knowledge.
                    You used to add a touch of make-up,
                          and wear cute dresses.
                               Now you make up excuses,
                                    and second-guesses.
                                         Now it's time for a new you Princess.
                                              So repeat after me,
                                                    "I know my value and it's priceless!"
