How working in an office
doing your 9 to 5
can make you forget
that this is your life.
How invites to parties,
dating, and drinks
can make you forget
what you’re celebrating.
How stable arms
and a strong chest
can make you forget
that you’re depressed.
But when you start to say no,
when the love goes away,
then you’ll remember
you need to follow your way.
You’ll remember that time when you said so bold,
“I’m a bad bitch, and I’m telling the world what I hold.”
You’ve recognized you’re off,
something is wrong,
you’re not listening to your heart,
you’re not singing your song.
You’re not going to let
heart break, fire, and fear
keep you where you are.
keep you insincere.
You’re going to tell them,
tell them your truth.
The bad bitch is back,
no questioning, just proof
