Pettiness
Damere Jul 2017
What does being petty do for you?
Is it just a coping mechanism to help you get through?
Does it help you mask the truth?
Even though you try to hide what it really is, you knew.
So from this moment forward, what do you do?

The way I see it, you have two options:

You can sit back and let the toxins sink deep inside your self conscious as you go over your losses until you feel nauseous

Or you can take it on the cheek, accept defeat and keep on moving with that last ounce of dignity that lives from the top of your head to the bottom of your feet

You could hit the book and write out an entire dissertation that honestly gives a one sided explanation of the creation of your situation.
The status gets posted for your audience
But that post wasn't for them, it's obvious

It was personally for you because you felt that you finally found a person that you can put your faith into.  But , they took that trust and threw it out to the dogs for them to chew

Being petty doesn't stop the pain, posting it on social media just covers your hurt up like a temporary bandaid
To truly get over the shame , stop placing blame,

Show that individual that you can be the bigger adult
Quit with pettiness, cut out those insults

Kings and Queens
Damere Jul 2017
I'm just a young KING , looking for my CORRETTA.
Someone to love me through the worst and BETTER
I found someone like that, and Ima never forget her.

When you find that lover and friend that you don't even need to try and pretend .
It flows easily like an artist to their pen

That's love man, and I don't ever want to not have this in my chest.
I'm falling for you, I must confess.

Confianza
Damere Jul 2017
"You uh...you don't want to go with a ride with me do you? We can get out of the palace. See the world"
"Is it safe?"
"Sure, do trust me?"
"What?"
"Do you trust me?"
"Yes"

Second guessing is a hell of a death sentence
He beat you and you're not the type to go and claim vengeance.
And by beat, I don't just mean in an physical sense
I refuse to hold my tongue anymore about this, I'm giving my two cents

By beat, I mean physically, mentally and unfortunately sexually.
From the beginning, you two hit it off great. You both had that chemistry
Or so you thought, because things started to take a downward spiral
Every day became a struggle to please him, it was a fight for your own survival

But you got out of that in one piece, your mind and body but you vowed your self confidence will begin to increase to where it use to be.

In comes someone new, all signs point to him being the right one.
But your judgment is clouded , and this old dude convinced that you weren't good enough to ever be loved.  
I'm here to tell you that the previous statement couldn't is an absolute lie
You've been battered and bruised, but you still deserve an extraordinary guy
Don't let past experiences cloud your judgement on what's right in front of your eyes

If he is willing to look past your flaws and see you for who you for the star that you are..then take that leap because a normal person would see the things you've been through to be bizarre .
Instead of seeing thing battles you lost as a weakness , he sees that as strength because you're still here standing on both feet and not claiming defeat.

You deserve happiness and don't you ever let anyone tell you anything different
If they do say that, they're speaking gibberish and are showing their ignorance
Confianza means "trust" in spanish
the beginning dialogue was taken from Aladdin when he first invites Jasmine  onto his magic carpet

— The End —
