I’m going to take a little time to take care of me

The disappointments of the heart seem unfair & hard to believe

Every time I break down & decide to give love another chance,

I always seem to end up doing the same old dance

Just when I begin to think things are starting to go right, they go wrong

I don’t think I can handle dealing with any more pain in my life, I don’t think I’m that strong

My heart’s not ready to go through anymore hurt

I don’t think it’s selfish of me to want to put me 1st

Maybe in the future, I’ll be able to lift this curse

Eventually I’ll find someone who is able to prove their worth

Until that time

I’m doing me

Here’s the chance to get my life together,

I will embrace the opportunity

No one can love me better than me, self-love doesn’t require anybody else

I don’t need anyone to make me feel miserable, I can do bad all by myself

God promised He would send me that special gem

It is my job to prepare myself & remain obedient to Him

So when that time comes, I will be able to exhale in the moment

I will be stronger & much wiser, so when love knocks at my door…I will know it

I will be ready to take love head on. If she hurts me, I will be just fine

If it happens it happens, if it doesn’t, it obviously wasn’t in God’s design

Love will no longer have the power to break me, nor will it take my will

Love is not fake or hurtful & I won’t settle until true love is revealed

So for right now…I’m just chilling, going to take a little time to take care of me

Minus the ring & the ceremony, it’s time to marry “me
