Love is the Verb, I am the Subject

There was a time I questioned my worth

Gave my power to people who couldn't hold it

But clarity came with healing

And once I remembered who I am

Everything changed

I used to dim my light to keep the peace

Mistook survival for loyalty

Carried names they put on me

Until I heard my spirit speak

I was never lost, just disconnected

Looking for love outside my reflection

Then truth met me in the quiet

And I finally heard myself say it

I know my name beyond the noises

I know my worth beyond their voices

I don't explain, I don't negotiate

I stand in my truth, I radiate

Love is the verb, I am the subject

Love is the verb, I am the subject

I don't chase, I don't beg, I won't settle for less because

Love is the verb, I am the subject

I am the subject

I laid down what was draining me

Released what was no longer aligned in me

I know now that not everyone deserves my access

That boundary came with blessings

I stopped watering dead connections

Stopped shrinking for misdirection

I made room for my expansion

And peace became my protection

I enter rooms without permission

My presence speaks before I mention

I don't prove, I don't perform

I arrive whole, just as God formed me

Love is the verb, I am the subject

Love is the verb, I am the subject

I don't chase, I don't beg, I won't settle for less because

Love is the verb, I am the subject

I am the subject

I know who I am

I know what I carry

I shine without apology

My light don't need approval

Love is the verb, I am the subject

This is self-love in action

This is healed direction

I shine my light (I shine my light)

I take up space (I take up space)

I know my worth (I know my worth)

I choose myself (I choose myself)
