We as individuals judge others before looking at ourselves. Nobody is perfect, but we expect everybody to be perfect. All SINS are equal, so everyday we all should be asking for forgiveness. I admit that I am not perfect, and I know that I will never be perfect.

        I’m Not Perfect

 

 

What do you think

Of course I drink

No I’m not a saint

Yes I fornicate

I don’t know what’s in me

I’m full of envy

What do you think is worse

How I spit or how I curse

Look me in my eyes

I can’t help but to lie

Many tears I have cried

For my thoughts of suicide

No I’m not great

I love but I hate

What’s the big deal

Every now and then I steal

No need to befriend me

Because my heart is so stingy

No I’m not complete

Sometimes I have to cheat

I don’t see this as a need

But I have thought about that weed

So what’s the whole purpose

To show you I’m not perfect

Sometimes people underestimate us because we are quiet and stay to ourselves. They expect us to be loud, aggressive, and boastful to ensure that we have what it takes. When the truth is you don't have to overcompensate to show them  who you are. When it comes down to it actions speak louder than words.

Deception

  

My tears are not weak

They make way for my strength

My thoughts are not bound

I say exactly what I meant

My voice may sound soft

It just eases the truth

My mind is not young

I just savor my youth

I may resist confrontation

I don’t like to waste my power

Sometimes I take your crap

So you call me a coward

I sit in the back

Because hate is in the front

I don’t take what you give

Because it’s not what I want

I reach for the peak

I can’t resist a challenge

You think I am worthless

You can’t handle my talent

 

A Great Woman

There are many reasons why men look at us women differently than we view ourselves. If we don't present to them the way that we feel inside then they will continually judge our book by it's cover. If you don't show a man how you want to be treated, then  you will never gain the respect that is yours. So let's be great women and present ourselves with pride and respect.

A Great Woman

　

Behind every great man stands a great woman

This is an understatement, a mistake, a misunderstanding

Everybody knows that

Because there is no way I’m following behind you

One, two, or however many steps

The only step up you have on me is when you step up to open the door

So I can walk through

And you know I’m speaking the truth

I do have the option to stand in front of you

But a lot of time I choose to stand by your side

But never behind

Yes you are known as a provider, but I can provide too

And a lot of times it seems as though I’m the one providing for you

You are supposed to be the driver

Yet you always want me to drive

And in rough times, you are supposed to carry me

But I choose to walk

Baby you are never about it

All you do is talk

Nonsense that I never understand

Tell me again the reason as to why I should stand behind a man

Who could care less whether or not he treats me unfair

But I’ll tell you this

I Don’t Care

And I will wear my heels, look sexy, be proud, and stand tall

And believe me or not I can be that one without balls

They aint nothing but a hand magnet when you feel you have to prove your manhood

And even though I don’t have them

I wouldn’t grab on them if I could

I’m more of a woman than you will ever think I am

I’m not just here to cook your mac and cheese, collard greens and candied yams

I’m here to be your soul mate

And not your do what I say girl

Making love to a man is not the only thing that satisfies my world

I like to feed my intellect and achieve my goals

No matter how much you may think of us as bitches and hoes

I’m here, and I’m here for a reason

And lately it seems that a lot of men are only in my life for a season

But that’s not something that makes me feel that I am less of a woman

It shows me that I am too much of a woman

Because not just any man can handle the fire that I possess

His love beats for me

But it’s too much for his chest

So he needs a rest, to digest, the best

That he has ever had

And I don’t care if you get a little uneasy

Because I am a great woman

And I will never stand behind anyone

So you better believe me

Because beside every Great Man stands a Great Woman

Always

　

This Smile Was Never Yours

As individuals we allow the hearts to slip away from the one's we love, not realizing that someone else has already been preparing to catch it once it falls. Sometimes in relationships we get complacent. We don't take the extra effort for the smile that used to mean everything to us.

This Smile was Never Yours

　

Yeah I’m grinning from cheek to cheek

But it’s not because of what you said today

But because of what he’s been saying all week

He’s been feeding my mind and loving my soul

He’s been digging my ditches and filling my holes

He’s been touching my heart and rubbing my toes

But I guess that’s something you don’t know

Or even heard of

With your inconsistent half-stepping love

He’s been giving me 100% and he’s not even here

You should be more than nervous

I mean you should be scared

Because he’s taking my love piece by piece

It’ll be only a matter of time before I will be released

From the grip that has been loosened from around my heart

It’s kind of hard to love someone when you’re both in the dark

You will never change, this I have finally realized

So I will take full blame because it took me so long to open my eyes

Your magic stick just doesn’t glow like it used to

I hate to say it but sex is not even part of the issue

Truth of the matter is I was never your queen

I was just some girl that lost her way into your daydream

And now I finally see the light that will guide me back to reality

And he’s not helping your favor because he’s saying all the things you never said

And he’s pleasing me when we’re not even in bed

And I know this right here is messing with your head

But I’m not gonna settle when I can love him instead

And I know I’ve been cheesing while walking through your door

But pretty soon you’re gonna find out that this smile was Never yours
