Cowardliness

When I hear your voice it makes me sick. You look at reality like its a trick. You feel empowered when you're around women. With this woman being around it ain't happen you must be tripping. A woman is no less than a man. We're capable of the same abilities, yes, yes we can. Don't think you scare me, cause my only worst enemy is myself. You being a priority is very low on my shelf. Hollering in a woman's face in front of their daughter, is a coward move. I think your mind set on woman needs to improve. In the future, maybe one day you will be able to believe. But until then, I don't think woman's respect you'll receive. You think the relationship is controlling that you see. But I think your just afraid to look deep down to allow yourself to be free. The only controlling one is you. Your mindset on everyone else wont change until, to yourself you can be true. I laugh at the thought of you, although you sometimes set fire to my bones. From the beginning up until now, I have tried to block it out like headphones. But you push so hard to make everyone miserable. But to me, when I spoke up to you, it was pleasurable. You'll never feel love from someone else. That's unless you face your demons yourself. Until then, there's no more respect here. You'll be very hard to endear.

A powerful piece Erica, bringing forth the importance of the feminine outlook on life. This has nice rhyme and flow with good imagery too. Have a great day, Gordon
