My Self Worth

Latin X 1967 (Philadelphia)

Rhymed
He didn't know my worth.
So l put myself first.
I loved me more.
I had no intention to entertain him anymore.
Had he appreciated me he’d see l'm special.
Instead he tried to depreciate a queen with a lot of self esteem.

A queen knows her worth.  I've been wearing a crown since birth.  I'll continue to carry myself in a regal manner.  So I let him be. He needs to build his self esteem.  I pray for his healing.
Being healed is a good feeling.

    A true Queen is someone who sees and treats her man as a King. A true King is a man who sees and treats his woman as a Queen. Be the ball, guys and dolls. To sow is to reap. To reap is to sow. There are no losses rather only lessons and learning. Live, love, learn. ;-)
