I ain’t enough in me to be a side chick.
There is too much in me that demands a real legal place and place it in your life that I would even be subjugated to an understanding to secret lives, hiding wives and intricate lives.
I am more than to misplaced delegation, late night phone calls robbing of love, peace and sleep.
I am better than misplaced holidays
I am better than name calling and abbreviated pillow talk giving me the hope
Only the damned dare take.
I am better than being delegated to the space between your dick in your brain
I am better than an afterthought
I am the first thought
I was told to be in position
in position because to because first is position
my crown does not deter from my reality I got too much in me to not be in first place
there’s too much I have to do to run another woman’s race
I will never compete for the soul of man who can’t even make up his own mind!
I got too much in me to be a side chick
I got too much in me demands to be seen
that demands that you answer the four questions who what when where in the fourth and the fifth question being how
I am the answer
And on my own ,
I have the answer to my own problem
my vision is my rock
Faith my fuel
No woman bound
To her self respect
Whom looks at
Self, soul and body in
The mirror facing
The mothers that look
Back at her would allow me
The daughter of time
Sorrow and effort would
Allow with the self respect
Infused into
Me through their tears
In that power
With that knowing
i walk away in my stilettos
From any service
at any table that
no longer serves me
in the breeze with
my perfume is
the scent of my wisdom
and I refuse to be
disrespected as an option
I come fully equipped
to build or tear down
it is your decision
approach with caution
handle with care cause
I have no qualms about taking
everything that I bring
to the table with me
including the chairs
