Dear Woman
I have always been telling myself that a woman doesn't need a man to complete herself because she, by herself alone, is created and born perfectly whole enough to gain love, respect and happiness. Not that I am being a man-hater but, for me, if you want to be loved and cared by someone, be it by an opposite or a same-sex person, you've got to learn how to love yourself properly enough to know what is right for you and what are the things that might hurt you which you have to stay away from.
Woman, you gotta know you're important and that you deserve all the love the world has to offer. Here me out saying this through this poem:
---
DEAR WOMAN
His eyes don’t see the
same sky with the stars
you see;
He clings to you
not with a promise of
a whole world for you but
of a
letting go after
sucking all over
you.
His aggressive teeth
bites while his tongue
licks your hot skin
not because he’s in-
to you but because
he’s using
you; Go on.
Wipe your tears with your
make-up and glasses;
Put your blushes on to
conceal the marks of
his punches;
Wear lipstick as red as
the
blood on your split lips;
Hide your wounds and
bruises with your black sleeves and long skirts and
Fake a smile
like a happy child living
in your
own happy world ---
Woman; if
it’s love
you shouldn’t be
miserable. If it’s love
you shouldn’t feel like
walking on upturned needles crashing your feet
‘til they bleed; you
refused walking and just continue your own
wrong way of living. You
beg. You
plead. You keep on
crying on his feet ‘til
your knees get swollen; you
refused to stand and
fight for
yourself ---
Woman; let go of the
burning rope that is
hurting
you. Move
away from the edge of the
cliff that is eating
you. W ---
- AKE UP! And
rebuild yourself
from the broken pieces of
your own shattered world.
If he’s pulling away, let
him
go. If you must
CRY, don’t hold back your
tears.
Let them
f-
low
.
.
.
.
.
Then STOP! Pour yourself
a cup of
bitter coffee which will
awake you from
your own bitterness. Then
held your head
Up
without any make-up on;
Smile
without the thick
lipstick hiding your split lips
Smile. You
don’t beg. You
don’t plead. You
don’t get your hands on
your feet.
You are a
WOMAN;
You can
build your own sky where
you can shine as bright
as
the stars
you ---
see?
