I Don't Need a Man

I don't need a man.
I have a supportive family, a God that loves and cares for me and a brain.
I don't need a man to be my protector or my provider.

I will go out and I will do what God calls me to do. I believe that he will provide for my needs, and that God will take care of me. I'm not worried about how I'll survive financially, or if I'll be safe. I'm confident in who I am, in who God made me to be. And even the times when I don't feel confident, I force myself to pretend that I am. I have moments of worry, where I remind myself of who made me, or who cares for me and how he's came through every single time in the past.

I don't understand why a girl not needing a guy, can scare guys away.

I don't need a man to give me money, keep me safe or complete me.
But I want a man (no rush, all in God's time). And I will need him... just not in the stereotypical ways.
I will need him to spend quality time with me, to listen to me,  to expose my heart and mind to, to walk through life and walk closer to God together with, I will need him to hug me when our world falls apart. I will need him to stand next to me as my equal, and to hold my hand. I will need him for love.

Thats all.
And I want to be needed for that too...


"I don't need a man to make it happen
I get off being free
I don't need a man to make me feel good
I get off doing my thing
I don't need a ring around my finger
To make me feel complete...
You know I got my own life
And I bought everything that's in it
So if you want to be with me
It ain't all about the bling you bringing
I want a love that's for real
And without that then no deal..."
