You Can't Hold a Candle to Me

You can't hold a candle to me.

And, if you were me you would say the same thing.

Observe and listen before you decide to judge me.

I work hard for what I want and need.

I AM a superwoman.

I hold it down day and night.

If it came to it, I can hold my own in a fight.

But I don't have to go there 'cause my mental is strong and my internal light is bright.

I am a daughter, a sister, a mother, family member and your best friend.

I am loyal to a fault all the way to the end.

So next time you think that you want to challenge thee...

Just remember, you can't hold a candle to me.
