Say it

Isn’t true as you say those words to me

The words that could break me, but I’m not that weak anymore.

I know what I am capable of and what I can do, and I know my value.

So quickly, those words could have thrown me into an endless loop of how they could say that and whether they ever believed in me.

But the truth is people say what they want to say, and I don’t judge another artist as being better than me.

Because the way I do art is just great for me, and some of us are stronger in other topics, and I love a powerful piece.

So I always give credit where credit should be given, and so as I let those words fall to the floor.

I still am disappointed in you, and even when you say it’s a joke, as someone creative, we never want to feel like we suck at what we live and breathe for.

Creating art in any form isn’t easy; I hope you see that one day, but today, I’ll just let you be, for I’m moving forward and working and creating for me and those who like and love the way I deliver.

  1. Cadeegirl Gee – Grace and peace! My name is Cadeegirl Gee. Through many seasons and roles, God has allowed me to witness firsthand the things that quietly drain our peace—and the truths that restore it. Conversations and connections with people from all walks of life have shaped my heart and deepened my faith. I live in the Midwest, where we raised our children and now enjoy our grandchildren. I find renewal through yoga, reading, writing, and exploring food from different cultures—all reminders of God’s grace woven into everyday life.
