get your eyes up off the floor.
Staring at your shoes isn't cute anymore--
in fact, it's attractive to men
who are looking for girls
who don't believe they can change the world
or anything.
Woman,
you gotta stop shying away from every conversation
like it's setting the stage for questions of destiny,
cause if he's asking about compatibility before you even get two words in,
you do not owe him an answer.
And woman,
he doesn't owe you one, either
he is a living-breathing-brother-being,
not an exclamation sent
to counter-point your question mark
Woman,
quit looking in his eyes
like you're trying to find your own definition
like you don't actually know who you are
or where to run when you forget
Woman,
you gotta own that title
you are not a girl, a chick, a baby-doll,
you are strong as the long line of warriors that bore you
But woman,
Don't be too invulnerable in boldness,
cause this is not some high-stakes card game,
and if you play it like it is,
you must remember
that the upper hand will always be unheld
and unholding.
