Being Free and Loving It
Here goes a response to a depressed girlfriend
To the one who saw in a man, something more than a friend
To the one who sunk into an illusory agony
Believing herself to be, only with him, in complete harmony
Dear girl, know that your happiness lies not in a man
Happiness begins in yourself
You must be the one to hold out your hand
And learn to give it to yourself
Dear girl, men are ruled by their drives
Once they are done, they shall pretend to be no more alive
Guided by their instincts
They shall use you and ruin you, till you become extinct!
Dear girl, his sister asked him to talk to you
And tell you that he no more wants to hear of you
Tell me, do you believe that? Can you be that dumb
Can you be, in love, so blind?
Dear girl, is he the reason for your happiness?
Tell me, is he the only man alive in this world
Someday, you shall meet the one who shall make of you a princess
Even a queen, for only you he shall adore!
Dear girl, open your eyes, and see this world
How beautiful it is, breathe in fresh air
Be grateful for what you have so far
Remember, emotional needs are not always met as fair
So learn to smile
And even fly once in a while
Cherish your children
And pretend to be the only rose in the garden!
