Single Gal

I’m a single gal who’s not looking for love
I’m a single gal who goes for the dreams I dream of
I’m a single gal
I like to spend time with me
I’m so into my own goals and dreams 
I don’t want anyone 
I’m at peace
Finally I’m living the way I want and prioritizing myself 
My life is beautiful 
My future has a lot of unknowns but I’m excited for them
I’m looking forward to seeing what’s to come
I never needed a man to be fulfilled 
If the right one comes around 
I’ll happily open my heart again but for now I’m the single gal who’s enjoying this peace I have

Broken Trust

When trust is broken can it ever be fixed again?
I don’t trust anymore
It’s hard to believe anything that comes out of people’s mouths 
Maybe it’s because I haven’t fully healed yet 
I don’t know 
Maybe I’ve had enough from trusting the wrong ones over and over again

Life isn’t always kind

Why must we look around and compare ourselves to others?
Why must we need our lives to be oh so perfect when there’s no such thing?
I’m trying to figure out why good things happen to bad people and bad things happen to good people 
Life isn’t always kind
Some days will come with sunshines and some will come with rain
Don’t get mad at me if I disappear 
I have to do things that’ll keep me sane
I been going through it 
I’ve been waiting for the sun to shine again 
It’s been a constant battle but I know in the end I will win
Life will not always be kind to you
Sadly people you love will betray you
I understand how it feels to hit rock bottom 
I don’t know how I’ve gotten through this world I’m living in
I guess Gods faith has given me strength and keep me from giving in

Healing

I know I shouldn’t listen to the sad songs because it makes me think of you but it hits home too
Some days are tougher then others
I begged to be sent another but yet what would that do ?
Would me rebounding with someone else get me over you?
I just want my mind clear of you 
Any and everything that reminds me of you I try to run away from 
I never thought that I would be so done
So done over you
Damn you made me look like a fool
I still think about the way you once showed your love for me
It makes me happy but then I think about how you constantly intentionally hurt me 
That’s when a mixture of sadness and madness comes in
That’s when my anger kicked in
You loved me until you didn’t 
You hurt me for the sake of it
You did a good job pretending that you loved me
Yes I still think of you but hopefully with time that will go away
I will be okay
I’m healing and getting myself back 
When I do I’ll be so happy that my mind is clear of you

My apologies

My apologies for making something so small into something so big
My apologies for hurting your ego because I don’t know how to deal with my own emotions 
My apologies 
I love you so much 
You can push my buttons on cue
What else can I do?
I overreact and I push your buttons 
I don’t want to but I love you 
I believe in you 
I might not show it in the exact way you want but I’m head over heels for you
I said the things I said
I did the things I did but make no mistake 
You’re the only man I want in my bed
My apologies for loving you so hard 
It’s all I know 
I love hard or I don’t love at all 
My apologies for my ways
I’ll take you on any day 
I don’t care what anyone says 
My apologies for hurting you

Queen Things

I’m working on my skin care and self care these days
I don’t care what anyone has to say about me nowadays 
I’d rather go for a jog or hit the gym then sulk 
I enjoy taking care of me
I deserve to love what I see when I look in the mirror 
I don’t have it in me to trust blindly 
I learned the hard way to put your mind before your heart
I will never allow myself to fall apart 
Trust is a beautiful gift and I hardly give that gift to others 
I admire the way I bounce back
Improvement is a requirement for myself 
My focus is on myself and not you 
I compete with one person and that person is me
Queens don’t compete 
We strive to better ourselves and love ourselves 
To find different ways to grow and reach our goals

Endings

I get tired of starting over
I finally realized that nothing stays
Good things come and go
Bad things will come but the stronger ones will get through it 
Nothing has changed me more than the bad things 
I try my hardest to be positive but  just keeps happening 
Is there a man out there who will truly love me and value me?
Probably not
Maybe I’m not lovable 
Maybe I’m not anyone’s dream
The endings hurt the most
Goodbyes are never easy when you thought you found your person

I believe in you

I don’t know why I do but
I believe in you 
I don’t know why but I can’t fathom my life without you
Guys try to talk to me
I admit I like the attention but it’s not the same like it is with you
I continue to believe in you 
I see how great you are 
I know you can go very far
You slack on things but I only get mad because I know you can do better 
I have faith that you can do anything you put your mind to 
Yes I get mad when you don’t do the best that I know you can because I know you have it in you
It shines bright in you
I don’t want to intimidate you but I know you can do anything you can put your mind to 
I believe in you 
It gets hard to accept that you’re human sometimes because I see all that you can do

That little girl

I remember that little girl who never doubted what others said
I remember that little girl who believed that everyone was her friend 
I remember her
I admire her
She was so innocent and had such a pure heart
She would cry when she realized not everyone was going to like her 
I miss her
She trusted so blindly 
She looked at life as her oyster and only saw good in the world
What a innocent pure little soul she was
Everything about her was so innocent and full of love 
I miss the innocent me
I miss the girl who didn’t have to look over her shoulders because she was inexperienced to life
Life has changed me and I’m not who I used to be
I couldn’t care less if everyone disliked me
I can’t trust you because my experiences in life has taught me that I can’t 
That little girl had her heads in the clouds and it was a great place to be
To the little girl I use to be
The innocent version of me 
I guess I’ll only see you in my dreams

So quick

You’re so quick to leave me 
You’re so quick to give up
You’re so quick to give me the love I deserve and then take it all away so easily 
Why must you do this to me?
I thought you were in love with me 
I know I’m not perfect but damn
Why do you have to give up on me so easily when all I want is for you to love me passionately?
I hate how you make me doubt the love you have for me sometimes 
Will we last or will we end just like all the other ones?
Why must you play with my heart like this?
You’re so quick
We fight and you leave
It’s a repeated cycle and I’m so over it
Being in love is not easy
Being in love hurts 
Why do you choose to leave when’s it’s not so easy?
It’s so easy for you and that’s the part that makes me resent you
