A Message to Women

You deserve better than to be called pretty
You deserve better than to get upset and go online to act petty
You deserve better than to be on hold
You deserve better than to hold onto someone who's already let go
You deserve better than to be held in convenience

You deserve better than to keep your relationship lowkey, because
Someone might see it, and someone might ask questions
And someone might wonder why someone like you
Would rather hang around a boy who won't commit
When someone like them, is ready to love you
Is ready to learn you
Ready to show you who you are

Paint you a picture of you through his eyes and
Convince you that you are indeed art
Show you the way he's mesmerized
The way your broken heart still beats
The way it flutters when whole eyes and yours meet
The way it silences to express its beat
Show you how much he realizes you need healing from this hurting

I know you
I know something about what you've been through
I know some days feel like heavy weights and hearts with protection That you've failed to break through
And i know what it's like to put heart break on hold
For the love of your life who forgot relationships take two
I know he forgot to say "I love you, too"
I know he forgot to stay faithful

I know you forgot about the time you promised yourself you'd do better
But every time you try to leave something keeps pulling you back, telling you
This is the best you'll ever have in life

So you stay the night
Every night he misses you after remembering your head
And how good it works
And how good it feels to know no matter how bad it gets
You'll always come back

I know you
And he does too
We know the way your stomach drops
At the thought of him loving someone better, so
He knows you won't search for better, and
I know you deserve better
I know you deserve better than to have your spirit bruised
I know you deserve someone who empowers you
I know just how beautiful you could be
If only you could see your own self value, and
I know you

You're a collection of paradox's
You're a compilation of food for thought
You're a woman, before all things
You're more a lover than a fighter, after all it seems

You're special
Listen to me
You are special
And I know you know you deserve
Way better than to settle
