Myself

Svetlana Onye

I think
I think I'll take myself to bed
Silk sheets like the bonnet on my head
Pleasure till the sky wakes to dawn
In bloom, I water me some more

I think
I think I'll take myself to eat
Wine and dine since it's all on me
Leave when I'm satisfied
Pay the bill, what a life

I think,
I think I'll listen to my heart
What hurts and when did it start
I'll build me up so I can grow
Unlearn what I no longer need to sew

I think,
I think I'll never be ashamed
To be myself each and every day

(Cuz)
I belong to myself
I make love to myself
I give it all to myself
And it feels, oh, how it feels so good

(Cuz)
I belong to myself
I make love to myself
I give it all to myself
And it feels, oh, how it feels so

Why wouldn't I pledge allegiance to myself?
To my soul and mental health
Tell me why

Why wouldn't I write the definiton of my worth?
So no one else can tell it to me first
Tell me why

(Cuz)
I belong to myself
I make love to myself
I give it all to myself
And it feels, oh, how it feels so

And so I promise to honour thee
To cherish me, myself and I for eternity
