Do you know me?
Really do you
Or do you just think you do
You sit there and assume shit
About me, just let me be
Do you really know me?
Really you do
Or do you just say you do
Or do you just pretend
In front of your friends
Trying to make an impression
Trying to put on a show
For folk
That don’t know me either
I wish you would just stop
Stop the lies
Stop the judgment about me
Stop pretending to know me
Because you don’t
Are you high?
I see it in your eyes
Do you really know me?
Really?
What do you think about me?
That I’m a bitch
A conceited spoiled brat
Someone who cares nothing for others
I’m sorry I think you’re looking in the mirror
At yourself
Because that is not me at all
I will tell you about me
I come from a strong family
With strong black women
Who take pride in their work
Who work hard all the time
I know me
Do you?
Sure I am overly confident
But why not?
I’m a strong independent black woman
Who loves herself
Yes
L-O-V-E
ME
Do you know me now?
Are you learning?
Do you understand my plan?
My plan to conquer this world
I’m not crazy
Just motivated
I’m not shallow
I’m very mellow
I love me
I love all creatures and living things
I even love you
Believe it or not
Do you fucking know me?
I think you will begin to learn
If you come down off your
High
Off your High Horse of judgment
Off your pedestal of what you think is perfection
That’s not perfection
I am perfection
Yes I believe all these things about me
Because I embody you
I embody everyone
I feel like I am the soul of all around me
Do you fucking know me?
I think you need to look closer
And really study me
My life wasn’t always that easy
But I have learned from my mistakes
I am still learning and growing
And I try my best
To get along with you
To be friends with you
To be nice to you
But I’m tired
Tired of trying
Tired of dying
Tired of you
And your fakeness
Your pretentiousness
Your highness
Fuck you and what you’re going through
Its all about me
In my eyes
And all who love me
Know me
They know how I am
Who I am
They love me for what I am
Who I am
I treat them no different
Than I treat myself
I love my friends
I love my man
My family
I love me
And that’s it
I’m done with you
And your self-fucking-righteousness
One day when you realize
How important I am in your life
I am the best friend you will ever have
And I’m not joking
Its true
I am a best friend to all I know
Because I love and care about people
I have an open heart
Open love
Open wallet
Open house
For all
That is me
That is who I am
That is what I’m about
But not to you
Not anymore
I can’t deal with your selfishness
And who you THINK you are
But are not
I think not
Do you know me now?
Now you see me
Now you don’t
Fuck off
