Woman

Being a woman is a gift. Whether you’re black, white, red or blue. It doesn’t matter as long as you are you. Being hurt and punished by the men you love. Is it their fault you f**ked with no glove? Beaten, bruised, obeying all his rules. Why not just refuse; refuse to be his slave, refuse to be his punching bag, refuse to be his last choice. It’s time to stand up and raise your voice. Tell him whose boss and why you took it all. Remember the time he f**ked your best friend Remember the times he said “Baby I’ll be there until the end” Remember the beatings, burns, cuts and bruises; It’s time to tell him who loses. Be the woman who can stand on her own two feet. Be the woman who refuses to be with a man and be beat. Life is too short to stay locked down He continued to knock you down But its time to get up and get off the ground. You’re free to be the woman you were meant to be…
