Dull and lifeless human
Looking to fill your void
But you look in all the wrong places
And find only discord
Because discord is what's in your heart
And chaos is what you reap

You never really smile,
Do you?
You only smile in the presence of a male
Inciting their testosterone
By tapping into your feminine wiles
But their reactions are ephermeral
They laugh and flirt
But still leave you on your own
For you don't allow the chance for true love to grow
You're trying to hammer love on it's head
With any man around

Dear Woman,
Stuck in your perpetual cycle
Of unfulfilling relationships
That barely last more than one day
I beg you to reconsider
All these choices that bring you dismay
For your mistakes make you dull and faint
And who can truly be attracted to passion that has faded away?
Instead, I implore you
To release yourself from your shackles of doom
To pursue your best self
Above anything else.
I dedicate this poem to all the women and men who find themselves in unfulfilling relationships. Take this message to heart: You can do better! But you have to love yourself first.
