I’ve never had to deal with heartbreak
I’ve never been the one to abandon her friends for her love
I’ve never sat around and waited to be ignored
But I’ve also never known love
And there’s only so much claiming to be independent can bring me
Because it makes me doubt my own feminism
It makes me doubt if I’m really actually that smart
It makes me doubt myself that I don’t need anyone but myself
I’ve gone far on my own
I don’t want to be held back
But at the end of the day
Why do I feel alone?
Because independent women are independent
Because I know very well how to survive on my own
So loneliness shouldn’t be creeping in
Even though I’ve celebrated it for a while
Even though I truly, truly don’t need it to survive
Even though I could easily be by myself forever
Wouldn’t it be so nice?
