So many...

So many bitter women fill their days with unsatisfaction
The feeling that they will forever be second best consumes their pureness
So many young men doubting their capacity to provide
As they try their hand in the game of life
It comes around and turns them down

I wish that time could stop running
just so we could have the opportunity to reflect
On what we have, what we want and what we really need

How many times, have I seen
My fellow sisters run for the unavailable.
Some who ravage to obtain
Until they realize that they never really wanted him in the first place
It was just for the novelty of taking him.

After you mess with her and mess him up.
Turning another black woman into a human scorn
And another brother into a bonafide player
What left is there for us

The good, beautiful, sexy women
who still believe in goodness and hope
Romance, the passion and more
What is left aside from all the bitterness

I am not saying that you should not go after what you want
I am just saying that you should wonder at what cost
What will it really mean for you in the end?
