How would you prefer we see you?
Dead?
Locked in a cage?
Drugged out?
Is that how you want us to see you?
We ask that you just come back home the way that you left us.
You ask that we stay beautiful, resilient, loyal to you, and submissive to you…
All while raising up the children, cooking for you, keeping the house in tip top shape, and providing you with sex and love on the regular.
Just love us…
Provide for us…
Reciprocate the loyalty that we give.
Give us the confidence to walk around KNOWING that we aren’t sharing you with the streets.
Stick around to give our babies a father- someone to protect them, someone to teach them things this world won’t teach them. They deserve you, too. Ya know?
We desire to CROWN you but your commoner behavior at times makes that hard and sometimes impossible for us to do.
Be our peace. We too have it hard in society. The injustices, the stereotypes, and hardship that comes along with being a woman…especially a STRONG, BLACK WOMAN in a cruel “man’s world” can weigh heavy on us.
So tell me this…
Why would you dare allow them to take you from us? The mere thought of losing you to the unfair judical system or the streets breaks our heart.
Don’t leave us to be single mothers. Protect and take care of the family you create.
Be the power that you possess. Make noise positively. Build our homes. Rub our baby-carrying feet. Feed our minds with your knowledge. The information that you carry within is MIGHTY, King. Give us the confidence to allow you to lead. Oh, you don’t know how bad we want you to lead.
Be our freedom.
You are our bestfriends.
We trust you without a doubt.
We love you beyond reason…
…make us proud.
Until Next Time…
