My Sistas

I think of this and my eyes get filled with tears

My sistas I want to protect your thoughts, eyes and ears

You think that every man cheats so I’ll give him a pass

You are told not to commit because marriages won’t last

And you listen to your home girls that tell you about every no good guy they have dealt with in the past

Let’s not forget the last relationship when ole boy gave you a STD

But all you wanted was some intimacy

Intimacy from who?

You’re willing to sell your soul just to be called boo

For a week

Then you overlook a dude who is meek because in your opinion he must be weak

You drop it low for a man with a high bank account but his standards are so low

And then upset like…who you calling a h*e?

You feel like what you don’t do the next chick will

But laying on your back for a man who is not your husband has never been a part of your Father’s will

My sistas showing all of your goodies for social media while sitting on your bathroom sink

You are so blinded that you don’t realize it’s your heart that has a leak

And all of this so he will put a couple of likes on your link

We were made from man’s rib so we were meant to be on his side

But we have been abused so much that we only want to stand in front or behind

Behind is what we feel we need to flaunt

In order to get his attention or build this insecurity up

But by curiously you get upset when you are called slut, whore or anything other than a woman of God

And then use excuses like only God knows my heart

That statement alone should scare you straight out of the dark

Ok, let me get a bit soft

Please excuse my dilate because I still believe that men owe you the upmost respect

I’m just going to assume you don’t know who you are

You are the daughter of Eve

Yes you are her seed

And even though she ate from that tree she still had the fruit of the Spirit

But some of us are so blinded that we think anything spiritual is only a hindrance

My sistas it starts with you first

You know your worth

And if you don’t just continue to rehearse

That I am known, I am loved and I am wonderfully and fearfully made

Y’all I feel they preach black lives matter so much but they never direct it towards women

They only sinning

Women ain’t out here involved in all the killing

But it’s women out here dying everyday trying to get sexual healing

So when you see a woman that’s different remember she is on a mission

And she deserves your respect even if she’s not a Christian

We are the light in the mist of the dark

When she sees you hopefully she sees a reflection of Christ’s heart

Because yes black lives matter and that includes your sisters who are walking in the dark
