I’m a powerhouse



I’m a Powerhouse
I choose what I allow
A ladylove with BDE
Not many can f*ck with me
And those who can, won’t.
If you’re feeling me,
Know it’s the energy
That only I possess.
A gentle caress
Of nothing but the best
Might make you obsess
But I digress.
I bear a strength
That no constraint
Can handle.
A handful
And then some.
You know I got it from
My mama
And her mama, too.
A power I never knew
Grew
Inside of me
And through me.
A source and force for many things.
Birthing and giving light to the joys that life brings.
A powerhouse for sure
And it radiates from my core.
