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
