Gentlemen, I share these words,
they come right from my core:
‘ You need to be your own best friend
from now to evermore’.
Don't let any 'sweet young thing'
leave you with a frown,
don't let someone else's power
EVER get you down.
Don't jump just because she says to,
don't lose yourself...to please,
don't be polite when she is rude,
don't put up with a sleaze.
Don't say you 'do not mind the pain',
when she has crushed your soul,
don't tell her 'that's okay!'
when EVERYTHING… she's stole.
Don't be a beaten timid whimp,
downtrodden 'till you're mad;
don't accept excuses when she's lost ALL you had.
Don't let her tear your heart to shreds,
or make you lose your cool,
you don't need her in your bed,
if she just treats you like a fool.
Don't be a mat, you're more than that,
(this truth you must condone),
don't be afraid to make the choice
of facing life ...alone.
You never were ‘the other half’;
you always were... a WHOLE,
it's better to live life alone,
than let her KILL ...your soul.
Believe you have the right to be
'treated like a king',
don't be abused, and don't be used,
don't let her clip your wing.
Don't let her make you hate yourself,
or make you feel that low;
don't ever stay with violence;
if you find it with her... GO!
Don't let a woman (or a man,)
teach you 'boys DON'T weep,'
or make you think that
gentleness is ONLY ...'for the weak'.
Don't let your sorrow burn inside
rather than show the pain you hide.
You have the same rights as your sister's
make sure you know it's true ,
let your words defend this right
for it TRULY belongs to you.
You DON'T need your fists to fight,
just SPEAK your heart
for your words have MIGHT.
Dare to fly, it's worth a try ...
there is no time like now,
you can make things better, (let me tell you how.)
First of all, the thing to do... is GET some faith,
believe in....YOU.
Take a leap, no sorrow keep, trust, for this is true ,
it's okay that you forgive,
but also say...'goodbye',
SECOND chances often cause
dreams...and LIVES...to die.
(Just because you forgive it,
DOESN'T mean you HAVE to live it).
Don't tranquilize your pain away,
or drown yourself with booze to stay.
Drugs that help you cope with 'hell'...
turn you into JUST... 'a SHELL'.
Want something that really cures?
Prescription?...'ACTION'... (Changing yours!)
This script I give is not in Latin,
just make the break and break the pattern.
Not lastly, you must love yourself
and see your precious worth,
believe there is a reason WHY
YOU were put on Earth.
Once you start to save yourself
your world will rearrange,
so go ahead, unmake your bed;
the time has come... TO CHANGE !
Don't delay another day,
today’s the time to start,
ALL the courage that you need
is hiding...in ...YOUR heart.
P.S.
Don't let your bad experience
harden your heart to all SHEs
for the majority love tenderly
and have hearts just LONGING ...to please.

You do write good, ill give u that. But its the other way around, the guys treat the women like crap. I have never done a thing to any of the guys i was ever with, i treated them like gold. I even gave in to them when they wanted it and still got treated like crap. Most guys treat girls like crap, all they want is sex. Once they get what they want, they are gone. Im sure its some decent guys out there, but it aint many.

Kay,
This is wonderful! I think we all, both men and women, need someone to help us remember that it all begins inside ourselves. As always you have said it all very well my friend.

Very good write. Nice flow and excellent message. I think this poem should cover both sexes. Because if you are abused in a relationship, you lose your self worth, no matter what sex you are. I repeat, nice message. Kudos to you!
