A message to women
you deserve better than to be called pretty
you deserve better than to get upset and go online to act petty
you deserve better than to be on hold
you deserve better than to hold onto someone who's already let go
you deserve better than to be held in convenience
you deserve better than to keep your relationship lowkey because someone might see it and someone might ask questions and someone might wonder why someone like you would rather hang around a boy who won't commit when someone like them is ready to love you, is ready to learn you, ready to show you who you are
paint you a picture of you through his eyes and convince you that you are indeed art
show you the way he's mesmerized the way your broken heart still beats, the way it flutters when whole eyes and yours meet
the way it silences to express its beat
show you how much he realizes you need healing from this hurting
I know you
I know something about what you've been through
I know some days feel like heavy weights and heartbreaks with protection that you failed to break through
I know what it's like to put heartbreak on hold for the "love of your life" who forget relationships take two
I know he forgot to say, "I love you too"
I know he forgot to stay faithful
I know you forgot about the time you promised yourself you'd do better but every time you try to leave something keeps pulling you back telling you this is the best you'll ever have in life, so you stay the night
every night he misses you after remembering your head and how good it works and how good it feels to know no matter how bad it gets you'll always come back
I know you
and he does too
we know the way your stomach drops at the thought of him loving someone better so he knows you won't search for better and I know you deserve better
I know you deserve better than to have your spirit bruised
I know you deserve someone who empowers you
I know just how beautiful you can be if only you can see your own self value and I know you
you're a collection of paradoxes
you are a compilation of food for thought
you're a woman before all things
you're more a lover than a fighter after all, it seems
you're special, listen to me
you are special
and I know you deserve way better than to settle
