Alone is where I am, Alone is where I will be
Doesn’t seem like a choice, it’s more a decree
Just can’t settle for less, my love is bourgeoisie
Even greater than that as a matter of fact
But feeling this way leave such a profound impact
Alone, lonely even at times, feeling my worth is sublime
Daddy raised me to feel this way and it’s what good daddy’s do
But why didn’t he tell me that my counterpart would not have a clue
That there’s a crystalline jewel where my thighs combine
A intellect that is not of typical principles, a grace and beauty so divine
So to settle is not a task I can do, as superior as I believe my spirit is
That’s one area I can’t transcend
Wrapping my mind around being treated less than a delicate rose
The notion that I’m worth less than a fine gem stone
Makes this quest for love seems perpetual and drone
I even tried hard to take the lost, but at what cost? My self image?
Why would he want me not have the aurora I envisioned?
Would you want to be with someone who thinks less?
Will it make your own self-image become distressed?
My hips are not the roundest, my lips not the fullest
Might not be super model fine, but I must persist
That I am worth every moment of your time, every touch of your kiss
Every single open door, to even checking for cracks in the floors
And yes I think I’m the cat’s meow why wouldn’t that make you proud?
Because I will not be with someone I feel deserve less than all the love I posses
My measure is no different from yours; we both deserve utter happiness
But don’t give me nothing you wouldn’t accept, Because alone is where I am
Alone is where I’ll be, I wont settle for less
Not even for wretched loneliness….
