Mr. Africa Poetry Lounge!
Nothing...Just Growth
When I'm asked why I stayed so long
Why I accepted the roses and ignored the thorns
I told them it was not easy to weed out the roots he planted in me
Being so captivated by the home he was building for me
Being the king to the throne and taking my heart's key
I never noticed the locked door closing in on me
I never felt the pain I was causing the WE
So in order to save him, I had to flee
Because we can never be an US if I'm not a whole ME
But one day, he will return.
Just in time to see
That I'm a Queen he's always desired
The woman I've always craved
I had to save myself
And now I am worthy
