Caged Bird Seeking Song

contemplating fidelity

I should write about what I want / what I'm questioning
The signs... / I'm contemplating what they mean
What that movie / that story

those men--the devoted ones / are trying to tell me

You see...

I pride myself in being open minded / honest / liberal
non-judgmental in an environment that doesn't lend itself to equality
where women do too much / men do too little
where a good man attaches himself to a taker / a cutter
a turbulent / tumultuous / perhaps even evil... / dame

It's not me
It's just not me...to use a man
to place demands / restrictions on a man

It's not me
To hate myself over a man
To get broken down over a man
To feel jealous / to get angry
over man?  nah...
It's not in my biological make-up

I'm a truth seeker / I dig deeper
I accept and respect choices
I often make my own choice...

to step.

You see...
I like my dream / better than the reality
I am over it, over him, before it begins.

I welcome newcomers / new experiences
new possibilities / because
the descriptions I can give for many left behind on my trail are:

Mediocre
Mechanical
Limp
Bent
Boring
Empty
Dead...F**k

Many who cannot comprehend
the operations of the female anatomy

Many who cannot spell clitoris / let alone find it
let alone treat it and me with the TLC we deserve

ya know...
I had one dude who put it on me good / how I like it
but...he was mental
Yeah F'd up / crazy / and not crazy-in-a-good way...Like me!

You see...
I need some cerebral stimulation too.
But, when it comes to the mind
the adjectives I can use for many left on my trail are:

Vacant
Odd
Addicted
Angry--and I don't do angry
Dumb
Disrespectful
Selfish
Loser

Most are intimidated by my strength / my wisdom
my opinions / my confidence.

I actually think they hate it that I won't cut myself over them
fight a b***h over them / probably not shed a tear over them
but if I do...it's a cry now, laugh later...about them

They weaken knowing...
There will always be a replacement on the back burner / and
I'm not afraid to remove a steaming, whistling annoyance with swiftness

Happy Trails ahead!

You know,
I should write about what I want
What I'm willing to explore
What I was sold on believing was just for the birds / literally!

A relationship that is free / but a choice is made to stay
Amicable / with few squawks
Male protecting female
sharing meals / swapping tongues
a little preening / and lots of cuddling up
never sleeping alone

Monogamous

A word that frightens me
A notion that most humans are not designed for
But something...yeah something...I'd like to try
with that rare bird

Otherwise you know...
Yeah, you know what I'll do

You see...


I'll fly away.
