So, you think I'm useless and my mind holds no substance?
You disregard my feelings and beat down my positive utterance?
I allowed your hateful words to tear down the beautiful flowerbed around my heart.
I allowed you to sow those weeds and I gave those false beliefs a start.
I wanted to live up to your standards because I didn't have any of my own.
I held myself to low regard because I didn't know better, but if only had I known...
If only had I known that my life was created in love... not only between my parents but by the Creator above.
If only had I known that your disregard of my feelings was a blessing to my soul.
The more you beat down my positive utterances, my mind opened up and my purpose began to unfold.
I didn't have to believe those lies that I was hopeless, and that I needed to measure my worth against that of which is foreign..
If only had I known I was born with a crown of glory and it is greatness that I must walk in.
The shallow ideas of this world tried to rip my spirit and crumble my mind...but if only had I know that my existence is a gift and my uniqueness makes me one of a kind...
Suddenly I realized I was a Queen...
