I Deserve...

I never had someone write me a love letter,
Nor have I ever had anyone give me candy on Valentines Day.

That doesn't mean I don't deserve it.

It has been years since I have received roses "Just Because",
Or have someone whisper sweetly, "I love you so much".

But I still deserve that kind of treatment.

I have never met friends or family,
Always remained that "secret girl" no one knows about.

Yet, if they met me, they would ask to see me again.

I can't remember the last time I slow danced,
In the middle of the room.

That doesn't mean I don't deserve to be held close.

I have never had anyone make me a CD of all my favorite songs.
Actually, I always make that for them.

That doesn't mean there isn't a special CD mix for me.

I have never received a dedication on Facebook, Myspace, or Twitter.
Not even a mention of my presence.

That doesn't mean my name shouldn't be plastered all over your page.

It has been ages since someone has kissed me,
From the crown of my head to the soles of my feet.

That doesn't mean my body shouldn't be worshipped.

Come to think of it, I never had anyone rub me down after a long day,
Not a shoulder, a foot, or a section of my back.

Doesn't mean that I don't deserve to have a masseuse on call.

No one has stayed in my life anymore than a season,
Popping in and out of my life.

That doesn't mean I don't deserve someone to continuously love me.

Sometimes we get it twisted ladies,
We assume that we do not deserve things,
Simply because we never had it.

Because we have been treated so negatively,
Over and Over again,
We allow those experiences to determine our worth.

If he didn't treat you right,
Then it's a shame he was too blind to see,
The diamond in front of him.

Look in the mirror
At the magnificent person staring back at you

She's beautiful
Poised
Sexy
Gorgeous
Intelligent
And one of a kind..

I know the kind of woman I am,
And how God has molded me into a masterpiece.
Someone would be lucky as hell
To have me in their lives.

I know I deserve
Nothing short of the BEST...
