comforting poem

Didn't write this poem (first track on kehlani's album sweetsexysavage, written by reyna biddy) but it makes me feel better:


My condolences to anyone who has ever lost me

And, to anyone who got lost in me

Or, to anyone who ever felt they took a loss with me

My apologies for the misunderstanding or the lack thereof

I'm sorry you missed the God in me

And I'm sorry you missed the light

I'm sorry you forgot the way I arose like the moon

Night after night with the burden to forgive

Eager to feed you everything

See, I'm a holy woman

I know what it's like to give life to a being without ever needing to press skin against one another

I've practiced how to hold my tongue long enough

I'm afraid I forgot to say goodbye

I'm afraid you're under the impression

That I was made to please you

I was under the impression you understood me better

The truth is, I'm a superwoman

And some days I'm an angry woman

And some days I'm a crazy woman

For still waiting, for still loving harder even if I'm aching

For still trusting that I'm still worth the most

For still searching for someone to understand me better
