Men fear me.
I feel it when they speak to me,
And when they don’t,
I feel fear through their silence.
Drip, drip, drops of fear
Landing on the floor,
Trailing towards my shore.
I can’t take it anymore.
My feelings make me powerful,
Not weak.
Men don’t like my feelings,
As I get stronger
Their fear is at a peak.
They’re afraid to break me,
And
They’re afraid of my strength.
I want a man to walk the full length.
Don’t be afraid,
I am only the truth.
My body will give you
Eternal youth.
When I speak like this,
There is no wonder why
I am still single and
Men pass me by.
I guess it is scary to
Embrace my ways,
They sound unreal
And so very vague.
As Al Green said
“I am so tired of being alone,
I am so tired of on my own”
I pray I meet my companion.
I wish to meet one man
Who is ready for me.
Who can see my insecurities
And appreciate my purity.
A man who isn’t afraid and will not flee.
A man who is brave and believes in me.
I want to meet a man I can stare at
Straight in the eyes,
And know that there, I will find no lies.
A man who makes me feel free.
I want to meet the man who doesn’t scare me.
