Hear My BATTLE CRY

I want a man who knows what respect means.
I want a man who respects and values me.
I want a man who puts in the effort to gets to know me.
I want a man who understands that I'm way more than a "great rack" or "nice ass."
I want a man who can quietly tell me he thinks I'm beautiful.
I want a man who asks for my opinion.
I want a man who knows when to argue with me.
I want a man who knows when to just hold me tell me it'll be alright.
I want a man who can make me laugh.
I want a man that will never speak down to me.
I want a man who will challenge my faith and my intellect.
I want a man who can be silly.
I want a man who knows when to be serious.
I want a man who can take responsibility of his actions, thoughts, and words.

I want a MAN.

I'm done with those who think "Damn you're fine" will get my attention.
I'm done with being viewed as just a nice "piece of ass."
I'm done with apologizing for having standards.
I'm done with being disrespected.
I'm done with keeping my mouth shut because I may offend an already bruised ego.
I'm done giving second and third chances.
I'm done with immature, horny, fragile egos posing as quality.

I'm done making excuses.

I refuse to go back into bondage.
I refuse to put myself on the back burner ever again.
I refuse to apologize for being smart.
I refuse to give another second of my time to the undeserving.
I refuse to lose myself.
I refuse to be distracted from what really matters.
I refuse to smile and pretend I'm interested.

I refuse to be a carbon copy bimbo.
Deal with it.
