Take my hand and let's go
All you have to do is say so
I know you are at your all time low
I should have asked a long time ago
But then I didn't know what I now know
This is what I've wanted from our first hello
Please don't say no

I remember that night
I saw you see me dance
I remember that night
Yes, I saw you see me see you

You made jokes
You tried to hide behind them
You made jokes
But I saw right through them

I kissed you
I lay my head on your chest and listened to your heart beat
I kissed you
You have no idea how badly I wanted to

Things changed
Things really did not go as planned
Things changed
You had a girl and I had a stand

We crossed the line
We knew we were both unstable but still
We crossed the line
Ignoring common sense we tread deep waters

You lost nothing
You kept your girl and your dignity
You lost nothing
But I lost you and my dignity

Here you are
Here you are building my playlist and gallery
Here you are
Present, available but not mine

I still feel you
I know it's uncalled for and wrong
I still feel you
Despite knowing full well that I'm playing fool

Probably shouldn't
Probably should give my heart a break
Probably shouldn't
Knowing me I might down one and confess I love you
You know that person who you will forever have some sort of tie to because you had a good thing going but it seems that they are your Tapu. Your forbidden. Though it seems you are both too hard headed to accept facts.

I'm gaining weight and I like it
And starting to care less I must admit
Drinking too much, I know I know, I need to quit


I gave up on you that was my biggest win
My only worries now are my health and skin
Becoming my own person from deep within


Shed of the extra weight and I don't mean physically
***** who you keep close to you critically
Do everything in simplicity
Let your spirituality, safety and happiness be your trinity
I'm just happy

I haven't written in a while because I've been feeling lost
Like everything I do, say, or feel comes at a cost.
I wanted to take time away and heal
But that just made the pain and the hurt feel real


I haven't written in a while because I thought I was in love for a while
Wanted to focus my attention on that turns out he wasn't even mine.

I haven't written in a while but I hope it won't be like that no more
Because I'm back and my energy is times four.
I honestly haven't written in a while because I took time off to grow and glow but turns out words are my growth medium so all I was doing is maximizing my insecurities

So I drunk too much
Then I said too much
About how I felt too much
Now I hurt too much
Cheers to a weekend full of alcohol and rejection

IAQ
I AM A QUEEN
Sometimes my crown does slip and I reveal my vulnerable side but that does not change the fact that
I AM A QUEEN
Most of the times I am not someone you would pick if we were in a room full of girls but fact remains
I AM A QUEEN
I'm a shy flirt, a double degree major and active performing alcoholic, has one too many one too times but still
I AM A QUEEN
It's a time where I am simply trying to convince myself that I am worth something. Somehow

I want to eat junk and not grow fat
I want a loving boyfriend whose not an *******
I want to miss classes and still get a degree
I want to be a pro footballer without hurting my knee
I want flawless skin with an iced tea and milkshake diet
I want my voice to be heard and still be quiet
I want to have hot *** and keep my virginity
I want to party all night and day and keep my sanity
I want to smoke trees as still be religious
I want to not lift a finger and still be prestigious
I want the impossible
My life is a combination of paradoxical situations and states. ha. ha. ha. Not even funny
