how to love me (pt.1)

first thing is first i do not belong to you

so if your mind is on sex just know i want pleasure too

so when it comes to it, take care of it

my womb space is pure and it’s not listed for rent


i am a home you must respect, take your shoes off at my door

i won’t be satisfied with the minimum because i know i’m worth more

i’m not your property or an object you just happened to like

to pick up and put down as you please, that dynamic is quite trite


don’t just hear me out, listen, attempt to comprehend

know that i am infinite and that i shine from within

i am not crazy, or paranoid, or even insecure

know that you cannot demean me, i know i am pure


speaking of which, always come clean

don’t waste our time lying because i saw it in my dream

lighten my load, we pack light, let’s be clear

i can take care of myself but it’s you i want here


so show up for me, but also allow me to assist

know that i am here for you and us ladies exist

be vulnerable, you can’t arrive to my table empty-handed

hold space for my emotions, they’re an ocean, don’t leave me stranded


solve a problem, open a door, lend a hand

i am complete within myself but can’t be my own man

be more than what you say, and make your present known

it’s your aura and truth of your heart that i want to be shown


please do not inquire about the imaginary line of men behind you

it’s my solitude you’re competing with and i am not the 2
