If I call you once that day
I’m not calling you again
At some point I gotta set boundaries around the kind of man that I say that I am
If I betray myself every time you cry a tear
Then what kind of man does that make me?
The type of man you revere?
If I keep giving into your every whim
At a certain point I relieve myself from the position
of being HIM
Women respect men they CANT tell what to do
men they CANT move
men who STANDS 10 toes on his business and DOES WHAT HE GOTTA DO
Yet here you are asking ME to make concessions, 'a clear message'
Asking me to make compromises that would in-effect,
deny me of any and all self-respect
And there’s no way you can respect me when I have none for myself,
Because I keep giving in
I keep…giving in
I…keep…giving…in
Though I don’t intend to
If this stream of consciousness hurts you, annoys you,
or straight up ****** you off,
Good
Because moving forward I’m holding the line
If you’re only going to be loyal to your feelings
Then what hope is there for mine?
