We are safe from judgment with the pretense of perfection, so we lie.

Women often carry a weight of fear, shame, and embarrassment of who we are. Growing up, I was taught never to air my dirty laundry in public. However, life has taught me that owning my mistakes allows me to grab my power back. And sharing my truth may be the only light others need to drive them out of their darkness. To be free and to free others, I write my truth. I.M O N S O O N L O V E W A L K W I T H W I N G S

I had my guard up, but your kiss to my soul brought that barrier down. I.M O N S O O N L O V E W A L K W I T H W I N G S I had my guard up, but your kiss to my soul brought that barrier down.

And, when I fell asleep smiling that night for the first time in a long time I knew that had to mean something. T E N E E D W A R D S

Its late and Im tired, but still I wait on your call. Your voice is the medication for the frustration with the distance. Your voice is my brightest sunshine through the winter nights. Your voice is the only melody that can rock me to sleep. W A L K W I T H W I N G S Another night, another ache for you.

As I lay on my bed, I scroll through my phone, get lost in watching you. And wonder if you watch me, too. T E N E E D W A R D S

Isnt it strange that two people could be awake at 3.00 a.m. thinking about each other, but have no idea? 1 0 W A L K W I T H W I N G S She fell in love with a bad boy because he brought out the wild in her and it felt like freedom. 1 1 T E N E E D W A R D S I inhaled your scent and got high as fuck. 1 3 T E N E E D W A R D S Nourish me in my time of need. 1 3 T E N E E D W A R D S Nourish me in my time of need.

Take me high when Im feeling low. 1 4 W A L K W I T H W I N G S

to keep others full. My loyalty need not be questioned. 1 5 T E N E E D W A R D S Lets fly away and start over in a new city. Venice, Paris, or Abu Dhabi maybe? Take me to a place Ive never been before. 1 6 W A L K W I T H W I N G S I was never strong enough to leave. 1 6 W A L K W I T H W I N G S I was never strong enough to leave.

Not even an earthquake could have kept me away. I would have chanced the jump for you. I was willing to hold on for as long as you wanted me to stay, because I said forever, and I meant it. 1 7 T E N E E D W A R D S

You cannot help whom you fall for, but be careful who you choose to love. 1 8 II. T E N E E D W A R D S She only warns you away from bad boys because she has danced with one herself.

Your touch struck me like lightning; it set my heart on fire, but paralyzed my brain. 2 1 T E N E E D W A R D S They say, follow your heart, but sometimes the heart can be unreliable when it tangles in the blindness of love. 2 2 W A L K W I T H W I N G S C A N T L E T G O How many stabs is it going to take for me to realize my worth? Every chance I give, you wreck. Every promise you make, you break. You always leave, and I burst into tears.

If anyone knew the things you put me through, theyd probably say that I was insane for staying with the person who owns the knife to my wounds. Love is not an excuse, but love is the only reason. 2 3 T E N E E D W A R D S

The promises were sweet, but your actions grew sour. 2 4 W A L K W I T H W I N G S Dont be surprised when you get burnt from your decision to ignore the alarm bells. 2 5 T E N E E D W A R D S O N E - S I D E D He tampers with your body and tramples over your heart. He lies to get what he wants.

Lies to justify his actions. Lies to make himself look better. He lies because he only cares about himself. You accept his stories, knowing that they are all lies. As bad as they are, you still ride for him and I just dont know why. 2 7 T E N E E D W A R D S

Think about your value before you pay the price. 2 9 T E N E E D W A R D S I dont like to gamble, but if there is one thing I am willing to bet on, its my intuition. Because how can I distrust my gut when it has never failed me? 3 0 W A L K W I T H W I N G S Dont be fooled by someones promises when their actions often contradict their words. Playing blind to the truth is self-abuse.

You know your worth - I know you do. So trust the signs - they speak the truth. 3 1
