I don’t want to chase this man
I don’t even want this man
Not when having this man means abandoning myself
Things have changed with this man
Once an initiating man
Wanting to take me out and know how I really am man
Now the man who is abandoning me, man
Making me question my worth man
Am I hard to love man?
Am I no longer worthy?
You were once a consistent man
Someone I could trust man
The one I wanted to build a life with man
Now you’re gone man
No longer man
You left me man
I’m alone
But that’s okay man
Because I have myself man
Had a life before you man
You better understand man, before you I was fine and I will be again
This is not the end man
My God has a plan man
You were an experience, to learn and grow from man
I’m thankful man
You showed me what a man looks like when he knows what he wants
Sharing his feelings and thoughts
Full transparency, no blindspots
Feeling wanted, even when I didn’t want myself
You unveiled what I am capable of
Unlocked a new avenue of my being
In loving you, I was loving me
No longer a good-for-nothing man
More so…
A woman learning to love herself, man
A woman learning to hold herself, man
To remind her inner child she’s safe
Even when the world feels uncertain
A woman who knows she can love, man
A woman who knows she can feel safe, man
A woman who knows she is worthy of love
Even when you no longer love her
You helped me meet her, man
But you don’t get to keep her, man
She’s still here
I’m still here
And I’ll be okay again, man.
