fear is as emotion, cowardice is a decision

Location

fear is an emotion

cowardice is a decision

what does it mean

well, it goes something like this

it's ok to be afraid of something

it'e even better when you overcome that fear with courage

puff your chest out and stand up 

never run

it makes matter worse

you see, cowards run when face with problems

 

fellas

it's easy to impregnate a woman and make babies

think that makes you a man

when you run away from your responsibilities

you are a coward

it's ok to have fear because having a child is a life changing moment 

it's another to run away and later find out your child is a superstar 

and you never knew it

because you were never around

 

ladies

stop complaining about these losers you call men

well, hold up

1st of all, they are not men to begin with

moving on to more serious matter

it's easy to meet guys and they come off the wrong way

you telll your girlfriends about how dudes are clowns

but what happens

when you meet a man that actually fulfills all you look for?

its ok to be afraid because you become vulnerable and feelings are deepen

its another to run away because he is not everthing you expected, but yet you find sorry excuses to not be closer (shame on you)

you lost and another woman's gain

and once again, here you are where it started

in the beginning going to the same clubs meeting these goofy dudes

that offer nothing but drama in which you can watch episodes of basketball wives

 

so don't run away

puff you chest out with courage

why?

because fear is an emotion

and cowardice is a decision

So true.... But I have to ask you something. Well... I have to ask you several things. If a girl meets a guy and it is obvious that he likes her and she likes him back, what do you do? My grandmother has always told me to never chase after someone that is not chasing you so I didn't. Unfortunately, now he is mad at me for not talking to him as much as his friends that are girls do. I can't help but say that I was doing the right thing for truly the guy that I want is going to not only be a leader for me but also our future family. And, now that I think about it, I did go up to him a few times to get to know him on a deeper level and to give him a little hint that I'm interested. Sadly, in return he would ignore me in the hallways, but,weirdly, talked to me as if we were buddy-buddy at our club meetings. I don't know what to do and I feel like it is all my fault. Is it my fault? What should I do next in return? Better yet, should I wait patiently for him or make a move? Please feel free to be blunt for I feel like my innocence has hinder me from discernment. 

MVP-Most Valuable Poet

if its meant to be, let it happen on its own

you never chase after anybody, you chase after your dreams

futures are built on dreams

why blame yourself? he didn't make any effort to approach you

its a mutual attraction that allows two people to give an opportunity to connect

you don't wait on anybody, expect the unexpected

everything happens 4 a reason, got to figure out what that is

if its meant to be regardless on the situation, it'll happen when you least expected

if it doesn't happen, wasn't meant to be-live life in your eyes, no one else
