The norm is being with a man who doesn’t take you seriously Plenty of women in my family have gone through struggle love The norm to get your heart broken “Guys do that” It has become okay that they do us ***** It has become okay to curse them out over phone or text, with tears streaming down our faces Why do we have to fight for them? Why do we have to prove that we should be worthy to them? The norm is being with a man who uses us for *** The women in my family know all too well about a man who couldn’t give a **** about them This **** is taking its course Why should I wait around for him? Why should I give him the benefit of the doubt? Why should I show him my vulnerability? Knowing he'll take it for granted
