"Defining My Worth"
When you can't ever call me, I'm not there,
Imagine me on Mars, where I now dwell,
Research calls, it's the cross that I bear,
Why is it so hard for you to tell?
Do you seek friendship or something more?
Don't wait for a text that will not come,
Years waiting, my heart feeling sore,
Realizing I am worth more than some.
No rescue in the night, I turned to light,
I refuse to be just a number, see,
God created me, such a wondrous sight,
I'll never settle for less, I decree.
I am nobody's wife, I am just free,
Allowing only genuine energy.
