Analysis of I walk in the light!

Latin X 1967 (Philadelphia)



Back up Satan! Cause I walk in the light. I’m feeling out a sight. He’s not going to be a part of my fight.  Cause I stay in the light.

When he sees me coming he makes a sharp right.

Cause I’m God’s child. God guides me by the hand. Now I understand the lessons I’ve had to learn.

I love myself. I love every part of me. I love me with all my imperfections. Every imperfection is worthy of my affection.

I love the beautiful skin I’m in. I make love to myself with positive affirmations. I continue to give myself love with no limitations.

I refuse to regress to the time I accepted less. Cause I’m blessed. I feel no stress. I continue to give myself love in excess.

I reign with a crown on my head. No you cannot enter my bed. Without love being expressed.  

Can you handle this queen with so much self esteem? I know my needs. It’s not on my knees. Take heed, being a queen is all I need.
