What women will do for attention(snippet)

Women will sell their soul just to buy some attention,
Wale said it best
Wasting time appying make up just to look a glam mess,
... but to your reflection you look your best,
and nobody can tell you anything less
and to that freakum dress that you put on for the club,
to men it all look the same,
and those jeans, well we all know he just wanna know
how it seems to get up in those things,
and to those 6 inch heels that hurt to walk in,
at the end of the day you are still a woman so to a nigga,
he'll hit it or quit it whether you're rockin jays or taylor gang
so ladies this message is for you, be true to you boo,
live life and make sure that anything you do and wear is because
its for the pleasure or discomfort of you.

I love this poem!!!

It really hit home for me! It has validated me and encouraged me! I am one of those women who believe in comfort before fashion. I will not wear anything that is uncomfortable just because it is fashion or because I want to attract attention. I believe that people should love me for who I am not what I wear or how I look! Thank you so much for this poem! In the last line, did you mean "for the pleasure not discomfort of you"? A very encouraging and inspirational poem!

you're welcome! No I meant

you're welcome! No I meant "the pleasure or discomfort of you" meaning if you're going to do something let it be because that's what you want to do whether it's comfortable or uncomfortable. Disregard the negativity, be your own fashion statement! I'd rather stand out than to fit in any day.
