I Just Can't Break

Yeah, I’ve messed up

I’ve made some mistakes

But in the end

I just can’t break

I went out into the world

and I stood on my own

I really found out

what it means to be grown

To be infatuated with a man

for all the wrong reasons

To watch his love vanish

like the four seasons

To be bold and timid

at the same time

When I decided I wanted something

I just made it mine

If it wasn’t good for me

oh, I paid the price

Being woman enough to stand by my decisions

was a great and righteous sacrifice

My boldness offended

 more than a few

But who are you

to spoil my view

My strength contradicted

your ideal of me

I survived all odds

and from your chains, I am FREE

Yeah, I’ve messed up

I’ve made some mistakes

But when I look into my babies eyes

I just can’t break

Nor will I bow

or roll over and die

You don’t deserve my meekness

I won’t ever let you see me cry

For my spirit dwells

with the most high

On him and him alone

do I rely

When I walk,

I walk with my head held high

I am powerfully me

 I will not be denied

You try to destroy me

with your hateful words and your lies

But like my girl, Maya, said

“Still I Rise”

I rise with a light

 so brilliant

That it scares most of the people

who come near it

 Hell, some days

it scared me too

So I tried to hide it

just to be near you

But if being alone

is what I have to do

to be my beautiful, most powerful self,

then loneliness must be a virtue

Because I know God

does not make any mistakes

and he put this light in me

so that I can be great

Yeah, I’ve messed up

I’ve made some mistakes

But I refuse to be SILENCED and

I JUST CAN’T BREAK!

 

Some people write with the intent to entertain

I write in an effort to stay sane
