A Poem From an Unknown Artist

I'm tired of hearing Some of these women From the beginning Feeling entitled to men who accomplished what they need.

Having a long list of standards They haven't met And some of them probably never meet

He has to make 6 figures Has to have excellent credit While you can't keep a job and your credit is shot

He has to have no kids While you have plenty He has to finish college While you have not

He has to have a nice car Because yours keeps breaking down He must stay loyal While you mess with your ex

He has to bring you the world And all things in it So you can toss it out And ask for snacks

Yet, but still things get real, You have flaws Let's not forget

He has to deal with your self proclaimed "craziness" And disrespectful mouth and still hand you all the respect

Then you brag about being spoiled And have a bad attitude And how he hasn't left yet

But I'm sorry baby girl In all actuality A woman of his equal He probably hasn't met

He has to work his full shifts Accept endless O, T, To pay all the bills And expensive trips

Just to come home To no home cooked meal Yet you provide excessive lip

He has to play daddy With no kids of his own Because your kids' dad wont claim them

And when he asks you something As small as some of his favorites You can't even name them

Out of all that he does for you Bending over backwards all the time All you really want to do is to shame him

And when things don't go right Inside of your life You just find a way to blame him

And now he is stuck Trying to figure out why he has to pay for what your ex did And when you start to realize he's not the same him

Well, that was your fault You stayed where you didn't belong Thinking you can change him

Now the man you prayed to GOD to send your way Because you knew you deserved better Got with you and realizes he does too And a woman of his equal He wants to go get her

Because you laugh at his dreams You think it is cute to be mean And play victim when he goes astray

But he has no use for verbal abuse And those egotistical games that you play

See, you have to stop thinking You're GOD's gift to man When all you bring to the table is sex

Men have endless battles daily to continue to come home to stress

And when he leaves You better believe All those credentials you wanted Are tagged only to his name

And now you are stuck Claiming you do not give a fuck When clearly you are accustom to lame

The term, "Nice guys finish last" I've heard in the past And unfortunately, it seems to be true

You may think you're bad But that's just a fad If nothing else comes with you

You see, being attractive on the surface Serves no purpose If there is no personality to match

And all the negativity that comes with you Just is not worth it for a good man in reality to be attached

You say hoes are winning But that's just the beginning Of the many excuses To make you feel like you are above

If you can't reciprocate what you think you deserve Then you are just not ready for love

People want what they can's have Reach but can't grab And if that is the case Put it back on the shelf

And those credentials you want your real man to have You need to start acquiring them yourself

You see, life don't goes as expected Which its smart to have a "Plan B" And C And D And E

Not another man But those plans that solely involve "Me"

So before you chant, "there are no good men" Make sure that men of that caliber are your equal

Or, you will be forever stuck Not knowing the end to your, "Men ain't shit" sequel

See, you want the ring, the life, the things, the love and title too But when it comes to kings They are only wifeing queens They feel their entitled too
