When I Say I’m Doing Me (An Ode To Self-Care)

When I say I’m doing me

it’s not a warning

no seriously you keep doing you

and imma do me

i’m comfortable

in whatever the fuck that shit may be

I’m me

sometimes you’ll call

and you know where I’ll be

doing me

but don’t get upset

now don’t you fret

when I’m doing me

that’s the freest I’ve ever been

whatever the fuck that shit may be

I’m me

so I understand, I really do

if you wanna go ahead do you

cause you know where I’ll be

that’s right

doing me

now negative to some this may seem

but whenever you’re doing somebody else your first concern is always

how you can please

so I’d rather do me

whatever the fuck that shit may be

I’m me

self pleased

self cared

an ode to me doing me
