You are a King Never let any living being with a functioning nervous system half love you I'm also referring to the man that stares back at you in your reflection You see, You have worn yourself thin Your diamond crown has wilted Into that of jester From burning yourself raw by entering scorned women With burning hot resentment Manifesting in their wombs You’ve played boo-boo the fool To many A devil in tight dresses Perpetual Man eaters Posed as your Eve Who werent meant to be your rib In the first place You’ve allowed them In your breathing canal And you wonder why you have suffocated You fail to realize that these creatures don’t care for you In ways you wish your father taught you were acceptable to be nurtured Did he not teach you that self-love wasn’t at the foundation of narcissism And endlessly adjusting your physical attributes Won't mask the emptiness you feel when you go to bed at night You have operated out of self-destruction for so long your incompetence has set the standard Of sub-par credentials in the women lay down and you bust open To coddle their insecurities To sleep Just so you won’t stare at a vacant space White walls echoing the secrets of your loneliness You play etch-a-sketch with the tracks of your tears on black pillowcases because you are forced to shed them in the dark You aren’t in alignment With the man God has called you to be And now, the only person blocking you from your destiny is you
