PHOENIX

 I can tell that you don't ever wanna trust again,

coz everytime you trust, it just left you hurt.

And I can tell that you don't ever wanna befriend again, coz when they speak all you do is second guess your worth.

You choking on your tears, you can't breathe,

coz all the diss, discourtesy is coming at you, like a stampede,

and you feel like you could put on a front and call it quits,

but don't go changing who you are to fit anyone's needs.

It's unfair, yeah, I know it isn't right,

but you were meant to shine brightly, don't you dim your light, live your life, do what's right.

Because you're perfect how you are, don't change a thing.

You're an endowed queen, you've got a king,

so, don't trip on anything, one-day you'll find a friend who'll be your amor, and destroy everything that'll try to harm you, and not a spear that'll turn to pierce you.

Just be honest with yourself, pick your pen and write your story,

and make sure every chapter is a good-read. 

Tell me, who is it you are?

You say a traumatized kid, a big ole heart that's filled with diss and scars,

and you wanna conk out, coz you tired of the pain.

I'll tell you exactly who it is you are,

I know you're a shining star, a blessing and you gonna rise from the fires and the flames.

see, I know who you won't be, not a Gen Z girl,

at least, not with all that grace and confidence.

you're meant for more just realize your worth,

let no one put you down, like you're incompetent.

Let no one define you, you got more power than you think, don't give your power away.

 it's not determined by a man or even by the church,

it's ascertained in yourself, just look inside and search.

They may try to burn you down with a couple matches,

but you're like a phoenix rising from the ashes.
