OPPOSITION

I am broken.
Not only because of them,
but because of my own people.
Why can't we find a man?
Why aren't we just able
to find someone to love,
someone that we can be proud of.
They say we are too strong;
That we cannot let our guards down.
When did being cautious became wrong?
How comes our credit has been stolen?
We weren't born with trust issues.
It is the result of betrayal, pain, and anger.
I do believe that if each of us could choose
with no hesitation, we would trust our partner
They say we're too fake.
Yet they want us to look like them.
What actions can we take
other than pretending we're like them.
Even when we stay natural,
they still think it's not enough.
Just like you can't chose to be royal,
we just cannot change what God gave us.
I was lucky to be born as a black women.
However, unlucky in the eyes of society.
They made people believe that this wonderful specimen
was not even worth being married.
Now excuse us to be mad
Mad at a world that keeps neglecting us
No I am not sorry, I am tired
because this whole situation is ridiculous
