My Presence is a Present
My presence Is a Present
I’d say kiss my ass
But 9/10 times you probably already did
Or at least fantasized about itDon’t take my love for weakness
Or my heart for granted
because when I hit you
with the access denied
You gone panicI’m a prize
But I’m not a trophy
I’m a treasure
But I’m not just for your pleasureYou can’t pick me up
and put me down
When you don’t want meI promise you
I won’t sit around and collect dust
Waiting and debating
Should I stay or should I goBecause the difference
between me and a trophy
Is that I won’t be around
when the dust settles
Because I don’t settleI’ve wasted too much
Of my time
Trying to be patient
But you can lead a horse
To water
But that doesn’t mean it’s gone drink itLike what makes you think
You can play with me
I’m more than what you see
dope vibes
And energy
So don’t you dare
Come to me
Past your prime
I’m not sorry to say You’re out of timeYou should have been
On your knees
Worshipping me
I’m a QueenBetter yet a Goddess
I surpass the constraints
of the program
I know
who I am
and who I beSo nothing you do
Can phase me
You can’t even
Amaze meI’m priceless
So my presence
Is a blessing
And you’re ungrateful
I don’t have to be with you
To know you ain’t faithful
I can tell by your distasteful
Inconsistent lukewarm waysMy presence is valuable
And you missed outSomeone pour out
Libation for themFeel sorry for them
Because I don’t
Dust settles
But I won’tI will always be worthy
Of love
I don’t need them
To justify it
They knew it too
That’s why they sometimes
Treat me the way they doI’m the most
Precious thing
You could have ever
Held in your hand
A heart of gold
Love as endless as grains of sand
A pure soulA smile that’s a work of art
A body only the creator could designAnd if you don’t think I’m worthy
That’s perfectly fineVoting is open!

Whoah!!
I had trouble keeping track of every line and rhyme that moved me—truly! This is so, so rich.
I somehow feel as though I know you personally now. And if I had to explain it all in just one word, I’d call it magic <3
Thanks for sharing 🙂
