I recently went to see the movie For Colored girls.Now I love me some Tyler Perry ,however I can't do emotional movies cause it reminds me how emotional my life is.Well there was a part in the movie where Loretta Devine recited the poem,I want my stuff back,not to be out done some of us wrote our own letter to get our stuff back,here's mine,feel free to add yours........
For all the years that I have sat in silence lingering on your every word,being your ride or die,taking one for the team when the team wasn't even playing the game.accepting things for what they were and praying as time went on it would get better.You made promises you never intended to keep,but because I allowed myself to give me you unconditional,I accepted what you gave and I made do.My mother passed on to me what her grandma passed to her,"A man aint gon take off a woman,what a woman will take from a man".I thought I was different,you did just enough to keep me interested in the game.I cooked full course meals on a daily basis,made everyday feel like Sunday dinner.Prepared your plate and served you like the King you were suppose to be.All my work and effort never payed off,You broke me down till I lost myself in you.I was so intent on making you happy that I forgot what I needed to make me happy.I learned the game to impress you,but I found out that after all these years,you are still keeping score.I tried to be your fantasy and all I got was nightmare.I have a closet full of stilettos,everyday I will wear a pair so that I can stand tall among giants and look down from which I came,never to allow anyone to take me back there again.I am worth more to myself than to allow you to keep me from my destination.I wanted to travel there with you,but you are content with the corner in which you reside.I am a free spirit always seeking to better my self,so Imma need you to GIVE ME MY STUFF BACK cause contentment is not the bases of who I am or who I claim to be!!!
This is for inspiration that was inspired by some ladies I know who also want their stuff back.
