Black Poetry : REALITY CHECK

[FINDLOVEINME]

ALICIA KEYS SAID IT BEST, WHEN SHE SAID I WON'T TELL YOUR SECRETS, YOUR SECRETS ARE SAFE WITH ME

DEAR OTHER WOMAN,
YOU WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND, THAT YOU HAVE NO RIGHTS TO A MARRIED MAN

I KNOW THAT IN YOUR MIND YOU THINK THAT YOU ARE A BETTER WOMAN THAN I
BECAUSE YOU'RE SLEEPING WITH HIM LISTENING TO ALL THE NECESSARY LIES

BELIEVE ME WHEN I TELL YOU I, AM, NOT MAD AT YOU
I, AM, JUST TRYING TO ASSURE YOU THAT YOU'RE BEING MY HUSBAND'S FOOL

HE GIVE YOU STOLEN HOURS AND YOU THINK HE'S GIVING YOU HIS BEST
SO THEN YOU GIVE HIM YOUR ALL, WHILE YOU'RE REALLY SETTLING FOR LESS

LET ME ASSURE YOU, THAT YOU CAN'T TAKE WHAT YOU NEVER HAD, NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRY
A FOUNDATION BUILD ON LIES, WILL CRUMBLE AT YOUR FEET, WHEN THE TRUTH CAN NO LONGER HIDE

SO WHEN YOU THINK YOU'RE KEEPING HIS SECRETS SAFE FROM ME
REMEMBER I, AM, THE TRUTH TO HIS SECRETS AND THE REALITY TO HIS FANTASIES

Whoa...
You broke this down like a mathematical equation...

Tell it like it is. It's good to read peaces like this because you have to tell others how it truly is. They may not listen...but you did your part...you told them.

for telling it how it truly is.
