Tragedy

Emotions welling up inside me

The dam feels ready to break

Tear drops of my soul for all to see

The stones have become to much to take...

Emotions are a unaccepted thing these days

Tears are catagorized as a sign of weakness

"catching feelings" is looked up negatively

Since when???

When did caring for someone or loving someone become a negative thing?

Why is showing your feelings a sign of weakness anymore?

As babies we cry to relieve stress, to show discontent, to get attention

Crying is used to help us feel better when we are overwhelmed or sad

I am sadly part of this tragedy

I don't allow tears because I was taught that you were weak if you cried

A larger and worse punishment would be dealt if you cried

Tears are accepted when someone is sick or someone we love passes

but this is the only socially accepted time

The show of love is frowned on

And this effect shows on our relationships of today

Selfishness and control of feelings have left todays

relationships in a shattered mess

Women treating themselves as b*****s and hoes

No self respect, no morals

twerking all over town, sleeping around

yet complain cause they can't find a man that keeps it 100%

Men are lovin this...

why wouldn't they?

Use to be they had a small selection of women who had no self esteem

And now the supply of hoes far outweighs the selection of "good" women

At least they love it for now...

Time comes when you want more

where will you turn?

To the "ratchet" hookahs you have been slidin' with?

To settle down and make a home?

Are these women you want to be the wifey?

The mother to your children?

The ones you take home to mom?

Would you?

Women are following the path of the rap songs

Things that use to offend we now use to describe ourselves

These are not compliments, these are not goals

Wisen up and think...would you want your daughter to treated like this?

The world is turning and twisting and constantly changing

Where will we land?

In a place of negativity and self indulgence?

A place where no expectations exist

Look in the mirror and see what you see

Is this the face Iexpected to look back at me?

It saddens me when I look around and its all taken its toll

So tragedy to be put aside for now and its time to cleanse my soul
