What if I lived by what I feel?

Would I kill everything that makes me ill?

Would I be capable of loving everything that gave me the chills?

There was a girl named feels

It has been years since I have healed

And I have been in the field

Seen it all, done it all

Now I wait on that ring, like it’s God’s calling

So miss feels, why are we stalling?

I know you can’t help that I have fallen

I wake up every morning, tossing and turning

Pillows bashing, like I’m smashing

Oh Lord, what is wrong with me?

See I know what I want, and I know miss right is out there

I won’t have to worry about her acting funny, like some of these bad bunnies

Some say they want me

Some say they hate me

I lied, they all love me

But I just want someone ready

I promise, I’m not a player

To them, I might be a pawn

Your value is where you shop

I can’t stop how some treat me

So I’m vibing, setting boundaries, thrashing waps, getting my gwap.

I guess I’m doing what I feel, until I meet miss feels

You know, the one that gives me the chills.
