Helpless

You know I'm not helpless I have lived a long time on my own.
No, I'm not helpless, I don't need a nigga to make this house a home.
I said I'm not helpless, and I know because each and every day.
I wake up in the morning free of pain.
The emptiness you caused once controlled my life.
Until I realized I was strong enough without you by my side.
My problems once consumed me and determined my day.
But now that I'm in control, the problems have gone away.
I feel no more worry, and I have no more pain.
Instead of crying over loss, I'm smiling from my gain.
I have so much freedom, my life is now complete.
I'm looking out for my baby, and GOD is looking out for me.
I'm not helpless, I have decided to have a thankful heart.
I have carried on gracefully since we had to part.
I'm not helpless and I'm no longer fragile within.
I realized I don't neeed you now, and I didn't even need you then.
