What You Do

Folder: 
To My Friend(s)

I came to this place

Not knowing what I’d find

An unsure feeling

Confusion in my mind

Uncertain of my purpose

Questioning the whys

Been places above this

Now I see- you’re my surprise

In need of a friend

Because I have none true

Reaching out for sincerity

And the stars sent me you

You can see past

The low in my walk

You can ignore

The ghetto in my talk

You greet me with chivalry

And a constant smile

I haven’t been treated this good

In a long while

Men have lost sight of my worth

They ignore what’s precise

They just worry about outer beauty

They don’t care that I’m nice

They don’t care that I have a son

They don’t care about my book

They only care about my face

And how I keep up my look

They don’t want to hear my poems

They don’t want to talk

They just wanna see me from behind

While I take a walk

You see me for me

And you can value my significance

You show me respect

Whenever I’m in your presence

I thank you for your chivalrousness

And how you treat me like a queen

You show me regard

And you don’t expect anything

You’re simply wonderful

And I’m privileged to tell you

Thank you for the breathtaking

Things that you do
