Melanie C. Campos ~ MahTame

I AM WORTH MORE

I’m not a fast-paced chick
Nor a tease to suit a whim
Lustful desires are temporary
Your scoring chances are slim!

Don’t give me false charm
And hide behind curtains of lies
Compliments made of vanity
Are selfish motives in disguise!

You can think I’m a stuck up
Or even a prude; been taken
Down roads of repulsive flattery
Best to be conscious and awaken!

From bottomless pits I’ve arisen;
Walls built up of iron and stone
To protect the wounded soul
Egoists, I’ll no longer condone!

Don’t want to be used or abused
Morals ‘n values are what I treasure
As the lessons I’ve come to learn
To understand that I am worth more!
