Karma

They knew me as Karma
Back home where I’m from
I’ve let them think they’ve played me
I’ve let them think I’m dumb

Because I follow their lead
But I know a thing or two
Love is not a game
But I’ll play it here with you

[Chorus:]
They think I’m an easy target
Saying “look how I can get her”
But I’m just dodging bullets
Maybe next time they’ll aim better

They’re asking what’s the catch
So I’ll tell them that it’s me
They’re grinning at the challenge
But it won’t be that easy

They think they hold the power
They believe they’re in control
But I’ll John Tucker these boys
Until it takes its toll

[Chorus:]
They think I’m an easy target
Saying “look how I can get her”
But I’m just dodging bullets
Maybe next time they’ll aim better

They were playing all the games
And not noticing my lead
I flipped the script and snagged them
Until I was what they need

They thought they had me fooled
They were telling all their friends
So I will rip their heart out
That’s the way this story ends

[Chorus 2:]
They think I’m an easy target
Saying “look at what I’ve got”
But I just dodged a bullet 
Maybe next time they’ll get shot

And that’s why they call me Karma…

Note: I usually don’t write about things I don’t relate to, but I had this idea for a song and wanted to see how it would play out. I was thinking country female rage.

Myself First

So many thoughts in my head
But where do I start
The anxiety in my mind
Or the pain in my heart
I’m facing this sober
No more letting it linger
The feelings I bottled up
I only traced with my finger
These two months by myself
I’ve felt so alone
Confined in these walls
That I learned to call home
I’ve been working on myself
Because that is what I need
Because I’m the only one
Who can set myself free
These memories I replay
I won’t let them be my prison
So I’m writing it all
Until every thought has arisen
My mind is so full
It’s going to burst
But I won’t bite my tongue
I’m putting myself first

I thought you were lost
I wasn’t sure what to do
But I found you
Still right where I left you
The pain in your eyes
That you don’t want to show
I can see that it’s there
And you won’t let it go
That smile on your face
You wear as a front
Others see it too
But they never confront
The tremble in your voice
Holding back words
Because once they are out
They can’t be unheard
The thoughts in your head
You wear them so loud
And with where you came from
You should feel so proud
The curves of your body
You were taught to hate
But others would kill
For a body that great
The shaking of your hands
The fidgeting you do
The anxiety is present
But you no longer let it consume you
You’ve been made fun of for your legs
Lacking in bronze
But carried by your feet
They’ve ran you half marathons
All these things you hate
Like Bullet For My Valentine said
You are learning to love
And embrace them instead
Taking it day by day
You pour into yourself
They say you must find love within
To be able to love someone else
This is more than a journey
It’s a lifelong mission
But facing your demons
Is your greatest opposition
When you stop carrying everything
When you let go of the tension
When you embrace yourself
You’ll find there’s no more competition
Focus on what you love
Even if you hate the word
Learn to welcome it again
After everything that occurred
The moon tattoo on your shoulder
When you smile with your eyes
The parts of you that you love
And you don’t have to disguise
I can see it now
Everything is so clear
That’s what happens
When I accept what’s in my mirror
