Made Sure

I made sure 

I've done alot 
Made mistakes 
Took on more 
Than I should take 
Cleaned my plate 
Washed it off 
Rinsed it 
Put it away 
Took it back down 
This go round
Started to smile 
Instead of frown 

I made sure
That 
I didn't back track 
I made sure to 
Forgive too

Everyday it's changing 
Tired of the same sayings 
Ive been misunderstood
People outweighed my bad
Saw the good
They saw it 
Through their own eyes
No longer had to be a disguise
I could feel 
Time would heal
Heal the wounds the hurt 
Put a bandage on it 
Make it work 
How could I loose 
If I choose 
To Grow 
Be like Elsa and let it go 
But don't run 
From your problems
Strategize them 
Go and solve them
And you will see there is a cure 
When you make sure 


I made sure
That 
I didn't back track 
I made sure to 
Forgive too

As you see in this verse 
Nothing wrong with putting yourself first 
Know your value 
Know your worth
Make sure you always come first 

I made sure
That 
I didn't back track 
I made sure to 
Forgive too
