We are Here for Each Other

Tue, 06/18/2019 - 22:53 -- Jteirah

Why do women feel the need to tear each other down?

We’re all one of the same thing 

Stop tryna be the class clown

Being abominable , manipulative , and constantly fake

The only too faced should be the makeup you put on your face

Talkin about each other behind their back

Saying crap that now, you can’t even take back

You should ask yourself is it knowledge that you lack?

It can’t be because women are cunning, intuitive & not chosen to do tasks

Man I'm only 17 but I know a hell of a lot more

And Degrading one another is not what we’re here for

And I can teach you but will you really truly learn?

And you can hear me but to you listening is too much of a chore

But if take one thing from this message that that I’m sending

It’s to stop being a trick because you’re not in a competition 

Y’all half of your heart break don’t even come from a man

Hurting one another physically and emotionally to save your brand

Or when you see a girl who didn't do anything to you. You gotta itch

To greet them and tell your friends that you hate that “b”

And what’s the reason?

What’s the remedy

When are we gonna learn that this does nothing for the self esteem 

We’re dead wrong for coming after the ones who understand us most

We have to stick together. We have to keep each other close

And when someone tries to come for one of our necks

We turn the other cheek 

And prove stereotypical differences and that you’re weak

And yeah this hurts 

Growing up in a world so incoherent 

How could this issue be so transparent? 

How can we accept this

Knowing that for years and years the strongest have been trying to prevent this

Man I wish there was some way I could stop this 

But it takes more and just me

I’m just the beginning 

And just remember 

There’s little girls that look up to you

And you’re gonna teach them that this is the life they wanna pursue

Girl that’s a child with dreams

And you’re teaching them the wrong thing

Open your eyes and see that we are all human beings 

There is no need for you to be demeaning 

Open your eyes and see what you could be

Or how you could be a better idol

Not try to take the title and in the process make someone suicidal

Because women were made for better things

Your life has more meaning than you think.
