Open your eyes

Baby don’t be no fool

The lies you are being told are the real reasons why you have not left him yet.

The tears that you lie in can never fill that hole that has formed in your heart.

I can see the emptiness…why can’t you?

Can’t you see that he is not meant for you?

You walk with your head down.

Lost to the world

Clothes barely covering the scars that has been branded upon your beautiful skin.

The love that you are giving him can go towards a man that will treat you like you are worth more than gold.

What happened to you?

You held yourself at a level that no mortal man could reach.

Any man that was worthy enough to walk along side of you should have thanked god for blessing him with such honor.

You have watched everyone step away.

These excuses that you have started making, makes no sense…even the deaf can see that you no longer believe the lies you tell.

Baby I can see beyond the surface…and I am telling you that your light is diminishing.

I cry for these young women who allow these boys to beat on them.

The love that they are seeking is leading them into a pit, which holds no promise of survival.

The tears that they are crying after these boys…are being absorbed into the walls of a pain filled box.

Do you need love so badly that you are willing to hand your life over to a boy that knows nothing about being a man?

Did you know that your mother prays every day before she answers her phone?

Because the day she is told that her baby girl is no longer living, her world is automatically going to end.

You may feel as though he is the only one who will ever understand you.

You may feel as though this is the best you are going to get.

The image that you are trying to keep is not going to be the story that will be told after your life is taken.

Baby open your eyes…

Realize the beauty that is staring at you in the mirror.

I dare you to walk out on faith.

I dare you to walk away..
