Mr. Africa Poetry Lounge!
But
Please forgive my bad behavior
I try to be a good friend and neighbor
I sometimes snap at my life partner
At times I behave like a kindergartner
But
It's not personal
It's biological
It's oh so emotional
It's neurological
But
It's a thing we women do
Estrogen cooks up a witches stew
The ebb and flow of this bitches brew
Makes us bite off more than we want to chew
But
I still want to be your baby gurl
The tender center of your world
Luscious scrumptious spicy and nice
All this joy comes at a high price
But
Remember all those bye gone times
I was yours and you were mines'
Well we're not all back in the day
Many more will come our way
But
We must chill a little longer
Until our swerve comes back stronger
You used to roll in 15 minutes
Now it's a snack and a nap before you get back in it!
But
There goes that damned estrogen
I swear this crap is not my friend
Flipped my mood just that damn quick
I wish no war with my joy stick
But
Don't make me feel so insecure
These flashes make my vision blur
Use me like I'm valuable and appreciated
Not for just until you're sated
But
It's not personal how I snap
It's biological it's this estrogen crap
It's oh so emotional feelings all over the map
It's neurological don't play me for a sap
But
As for my being friend and neighbor
I chose Christ as Lord and Savior
So I ask you all to be forgiving
This estrogen affects my living
