Gettin Mine Poem by nyna bankard

These emotions that run deep are so unpredictable
You lose your self control and damage with your verbal
You try to crush my spirit to keep me under your thumb
You think that I’m naive, you think that I am dumb
You think that I’ll sit back and let you have your way
Well right here is where it ends cause I’m looking for better days

Keep telling me that I’m nothing
Keep fronting like you don’t care
Keep talking all your craziness
Keep testing me, if you dare

I will not back down, my spirit, it transcends
God is on my side, while the Devil is your friend
Through these lessons learned, I’ve come to find myself
It’s my turn to rise above, no more sitting on a shelf
So get up out my space and move up out my way
Best believe I’m getting mine no matter what you say
