The Awakening

by Eurse - Aries

My sisters of the nation as I speak unto you
Shall I discuss one of the ugliness that men has put us through?
For example, when you pour heart into this male
And because you are not perfect in his eyes, he decides to slap you into the pits of hell?
All you can say is it's on me, my bad
But he sees something else he doesn't like and takes it to your ass.
Over and over he hits you and tells you that he loves you.
You think you are stuck between a rock and a hard place not knowing what to do.
Maybe I'm here to tell the world what happen to me
Yeah, I was one of those women saying abuse? not here and it won't be.
Now I dated this guy a ways back
One of those cats who has this sophisticated lady and forgets how to act
Well I cared for him that's true
He heard this rumor about me and his boy, didn't ask any questions, start pounding me until I was bruised and blue.
And the story continues:
I simply stated it's my fault 
I really don't have a clue what I did but I see I got caught!
On that note I dropped my head and began to weep
I told him that he had a rough day and should get some sleep
When he went to lie down that's when I started to plot
And remember all the things I had been taught
I thought he doesn't care about me THIS MAN
I just remember the gasoline can!
Got it grabbed some matches pictured the torching
Put the fuel around him and watched it scorching
Waited patiently for a few minutes and start calling his name
He woke up scared to death forgot all about his game
He took me home without saying a word, didn't call me for weeks
I was relieved oneday the phone rings, I pick up and he speaks:
"I see like all women you have a trick up your sleeve
My daddy told me to 'handle her' and that I believe
that if you fall out of line throw her to the curb. 
You are the first to retaliate  but I didn't deserve"!
I tried stopping him there yet he continued:
"I won't ever do it again to no female
For you are Queen Superior now I can tell".
Well my words flowed:
"I was never with your boy and though it may seem
You are another "wannabe a man" close to a dream
It's all good what happened cause in the end I won".
I hung up without saying good-bye because the damage has been done
Understand my point don't let it go to your head
If so, there's a possibility you might end up dead 
Dealing with relationships, they might be cool
Remember you are in search of man not a fool.

Reason for writing:

    I know many women who have went through very abusive relationships and when it happened to me, I was one saying it didn't happened to me. It only took that one time for me to wake up and I know women that I grew up that didn't have that chance..It's was too late.
