Ms. Independent

All her life she has always been Ms. independent

Dodgin’ critics and cynics, relentless ascension

Deflecting the venom from jealous attention

Won’t mess with the snakes full of hateful projections

Strong through the storms but she longed for affection

Escaped all the wreckage, but craved some protection

She thought she was destined to question connections

Built walls for defenses like barb-wired fences

She wrestled with tension, obsessed with perfection

‘Til he stepped in and lessened the weight on her chest and

His arms were a shelter from all the aggression

His soul an extension of her own, such a blessing

Her past was a prison of reckless obsessions

But love broke the sentence, no stress, just progression

She’s still Ms. Independent, she’s still standing tall

But now she don’t have to face it alone anymore

Ms independent

How’d you do it on your own

Now let me take you home

We’re in this together, forever

Ms independent

Was this always your plan?

Now take me by the hand

We’re in this together, forever

Ms independent
