No more banging on doors, begging you to let me in
And try and try with all my might
How your heart am I supposed to win?
How can I expect others to respect me
When respect to myself I first must show?
.
From the first day, I was on my knees
All my pleas, your anger can never cease
The tears drip till the heart bleeds dry
Beg and beg, you are deaf to all cry.
.
I dance and fail to move to your tune,
With all my energy, I will my feet to move
To all my sweet charm, you are immune,
My self worth to you I shall never prove.
.
Enough with all my defensiveness,
No more proving my fabulousness,
Time to learn who God made me to be
Pleasing Him is my utmost priority
.
Take ownership, assume responsibility,
Their anger isn’t your fault, you see?
No more saying yes without thinking for myself
Learning to say no without fear of anger consequence
.
I am brave, I am strong
I admit I am wrong,
I can learn, I can grow
I can love you healthily
