Men


Do I despise men?

No I don't.

So why do I choose to hide from men?

No I don't.

I just don't want an unwanted man.

Oh.

You thought I was mad?

No.

Good because I'm not.

So go.

I want the man that I chose and who I choose.

Man, MEN,

I don't want to be used.

Think I'm scripted?

I'm not.

Think that I will lie?

You will.

Why would you want to try and kill?

What a girl like me?

Deserve to get a guy like you?

I don't want you.

And that really is the honest to GOODNESS, whole hearted truth.

Now where is the proof?

I shouldn't even have to show you.

I know you feel it.

I know you hear it.

And let me tell you something,

MAN, MEN you aint even gotta see it.

PERIOD!
