Too independent

Since birth have had movies, TV shows, social media- the world pushing the idea I need a man down my throat.

Never really told why- stability with housing and finances.

Grow up to be independent but not too independent because men won't find you attractive.

You tone it back- you lose yourself- no one wants someone who can't take care of themselves.

Fuck it- I can't do this anymore. I have my own life dreams and goals to accomplish.

I don't have time to wait around for what you call a “man”.

The men I encountered are not Prince Charming- though they claim to be.

I end up taking care of these men- basically their mother.

I'm the one who holds the stability- finance and housing.

Without me stepping up as the man we would have lost everything.

On top of cleaning up after them because as grown-ass adults they don't know how to clean up after themselves.

Again- I ask why do I need a man? When I do a better job than a man anyway.

These so-called men get mad because I call them out on their bluff and am able to do their job better.

I'm not deemed as difficult and a pain in the ass.

Why? Because they are children and their parents failed them.
