What Does It Mean to Settle?

What does it mean to settle?
Does it mean that all these black pots, gang up on my kettle and
meddle in my life
telling me whats right
for whom to sacrifice my heart and who's love is worthy of my fight?
What does it mean to settle?
Does it mean you limit your love
by accepting a bad situation and volunteering to be victim
with passive participation
claiming what you want but making no initiation to really have it?
Does settling mean your habit
of taking the blows he impresses upon your body
make you that ride or die kind of shawty
because you take his abuse and lie to everybody?
the fist face two step, that's the dance at this party?
What does it mean to settle?
To love the one your with
but cheat behind their back
make a fool out of the one who helps you live
while you ditch deep grooves for pavement cracks?
sin like the best sinner but say God's got your back?
What does it mean to settle?
To take on the dude even though he tips the bottle?
to take on the fool just because she weaves herself into a model?
Ego's kill me yo
always got to be coddled.
I settle
You settle
We're just varied shades of black
all of us pots
all of us kettles.

The Punisher: Relationship Prejudice

When started dating after separation, I did it in phases. The first phase was catch up. I wanted to catch up with every man I had a spark with to explore where it would have went had I not gotten married. Once I realized that these "what if's" were really "don't bother's" I moved on to try to find "the one." After several failed attempts and false starts with "the one" I began making rules. I didn't always know what I liked but I was certain after several failed relationships of what I didnt. However, now that I look back, I realize that plenty of the red flags that made me run were almost always a shared similarity with my ex. If a man said he was interested in anything my ex was interested in, I began to feel uneasy and delve deeper for more "flags". I'll even admit that if a man were from the same country or continent as my ex, I would get turned off. I now know that I was suffering from PTRD (Post Traumatic Re...

The Real Thing *Relationships/Dating*

I love Marvin Gaye. I love how he croons along with Tammi Terrell about having the "Real Thing". If you have followed my blog over the years, you have seen me get separated, divorced, and hit the dating scene. Its been a long road. There was a time that I was dating just to get my feet wet. I just wanted to get into the habit of conversing and entertaining men in a way that I hadn't due to the confines of marriage. I just wanted to be single again. Eventually I came to want more. I wanted to have something...real. I am not a traditional woman. If I didn't have children I would likely never be married and I would be totally fine with living in a separate home from my significant other and connecting when we wanted to connect and maintaining space all other times. However, I have children...and my lifestyle preferences are not a priority. I am more interested in setting an example and foundation for my girls. So here I am, dating with a purpose. I have been on POF,...

The Secret Society Of Trump Supporters

I've heard at least a dozen people proclaim their disgust with the success of Donald Trumps Presidential campaign. I'm lying, it's been everywhere. On social media, articles, and conversation you hear plenty people express their disdain at the mere thought of Trump assuming office. Then there are the supporters. There are the people who openly express their support of Trump winning the White House. As time goes on, Trump's position is yet more secured and his supporters are also more secure in showing just how much they love him. It seems now that victory is within their grasp, they can more openly say : I helped make this happen. Those are the cowards. They won't openly defend their candidate but they quietly follow and support him. Those are the people who will say: "well there are some people who support Trump because he says what others won't say." Those people, are talking about themselves. They are far too timid to say what Trump says and he ha...
