Ode to the Boss Babe

Here’s to the babes working a 9-5
the ones that practice self love
5-9
I’m talking those
let me run a bath
type bitches
& the
let me send this email
that perfectly lays out
my work boundaries
type bitches
Here’s to the babes that write
checks for their white
picket fences
Here’s to the babes that celebrate
other babes
let’s take a shot
to new beginnings
Here’s to the babes that love sweet
& talk like fire
the world
opens
for
you
