Poem Title:
Poem
Respectful, intelligent, someone who loves me for who I am. That is the type of brotha I'm looking for but damn. My name is Diona Lanese Finley. When you look into my eyes is that what you see. The true, love, beauty, honesty, loyalty. Seventeen years old with a fifty-year-old soul. Now the truth is going to be told. My father taught me to be bold. The information I say please hold. So being me I wonder are all of my options gone. I mean from the sugar to the down low, From the thugs to the gangsters, From the cocaine he hitting to the men in prison. There’s this boy that sits on his butt and can't even listen. The one who plays the Playa, or the P.I.M.P. Some jive time brotha who doesn't have respect his mommy. He think he can go out and have and affair with another. Here comes the control freak. I know he don't think he has authority over me. He’ll be the alcoholic I'll throw out on the streets. A man thinks he can put his hands on me. I'll beat you down like we in slavery. That is no way you treat a woman like me. Proud, love her self, and have dignity. He doesn't know how to treat the mother of his child. Now I know you think this poem is a little wild. So that’s why I’m going to say this loud and proud. Not all men are like that, I know I have one who has my back. Strong, loving, true, real, provides for my mommy and me. Yeah that's right, he's my daddy. I don't want a man just like him. But my daddy what me to have a man who would make me happy. That is what I'm looking for exactly.
