No-one mentioned it
no-one planted it in me
I grew up old realizing,
my relationships wouldn't work
my issues would get worse.
I would give a lot of myself to others
and fill the empty gaps
with somebody else's
and no-one really told me
why it wouldn't work.
No-one paved my road to self-love
I grew up looking for confront in others
because no-one told me
no-one planted it in me
the love and respect I should have for me.
So instead of giving me dolls
to play with
and telling me how I need a man
or how I can't do this or that
teach me important thing
like independence and
how I should love myself.
