"Good" Enough

Men complain that there are no good women left

But are you a "good" man.

If by "good" you mean that being silent

While you spit on my dreams and efforts is okay

If by "good" you mean laughing while I suffer is cool

Then no I'm not the "good" woman that you were hoping for

I am not "good" for you.

I played all the games from the role of "wifey"

To roles of mother and sister. It is all make believe in the end

And what I discovered is that you can't even be a good friend.

How can you want something "good" when you don't reflect

Any of its' wholesome characteristics.?

You say one thing. But when repeated you

Swear that you didn't hear it

You want a woman to love, cook, clean, be the bread winner

Treat you like a King and give you all the luxury

But are you deserving of that treatment

Are you "GOOD ENOUGH" for me...?

Not many men are strong enough to rise up to the standard

Of quality that I breathe on through

And I would rather you be honest with yourself

Than to waste any of my time investing my power, love, emotions into you.

So thank you for being honest, and accepting that

You are too weak in your spirit to protect these gifts within me. Thank you for showing your true colors.

I called you on your bluff

And no, if a "good woman" means being perfect then I choose

Not to be "GOOD" enough.
