Pleasures of Me

Am I
suppose
to want to
be like that?

Ashamed
uncertain
confused
easily talked out
bout the things I want?

I know
what I want
how I want it
and how it is
suppose to be.

I refuse
to settle!

To settle for lies

To settle for fakiness

To settle for
lust me sometimes
and no love
the other times!

To settle for anything
less than I deserve!

I am not just
another on your list

Another name
to check off.

I know
I deserve
everything I want!

I know I deserve
my happiness
my respect.

I know I deserve
to be successful
and to be
loved.

There is no denyin me
from this!
Because I know it's mine
to have and cherish!

You may think
you a
balla
playa
or wateva

But you'll neva get to enjoy...

This or that
There or here
Near or far
Up and down
All around
The pleasures of me!
