Do you want to know why I chose myself? Come a little closer, let me tell you Everything I saw, everything I heard Small actions Turning people into copies Even if everyone credits someone To validate me I am whole on my own When I took a step back When I took a step back The focus shifted The illusion cast by your eyes No longer blinded me I even created the beginning of an expectation Like someone who already knows It will be erased It wasn't a promise It was projection And to imagine those black opal eyes were slag Only I would be the solitary queen Even if everyone credits someone To make me better I am whole on my own That love felt like an abyss Trying to devour my dreams and my ideas Your affection flooding my mind Drowning my thoughts I am not a decorative crown Meant to adorn your ego Only I would be the solitary queen I am the queen of the path I chose I only sit where I can stay whole
