Life Through My Eyes

Man, if you are from an African community and zeroing it down to my community; watch how you behave around your mother-in-law. One thing you might be naïve about is, she “controls” the relationship between you and your woman. It could be unknown to all parties. It is more of a natural thing. If you love a woman and really want to keep her, rule number one! Watch you act towards your mother-in-law How do you speak to her, respond to her, treat her…it doesn’t matter whether you share a roof or not. Keep your long tail in check It doesn’t matter whether she is the annoying type, the irritating type, keep your tongue in check It doesn’t matter if she is learned or not, keep your attitude in check Don’t take a mother and daughter fight that seriously and think they will end it, you are fooling yourself Mother-in-law will send you on errands, give you assignments, “annoy” you deliberately; she will test you in all sorts of cunning and sometimes annoying ways.

I checked my messages and what I had been waiting for was right there! A preposition! My exact want! I was in disbelief because of the perfection in my want...you will think it crazy, but this is what I ever wanted "No such commitment, but a loving man who knew me and would ...

What I really want from you is you I need you home with me It's ok for you to hang out But it's not ok when I am the last, very last on your list I am not here for your money I don't care whether you spoil me or not It feels nice being given a treat But i need you more than your money My heart aches every time you leave Not that you are with someone else But that you don't care to hang around me I love me and I might move See when I hear footsteps, my heart jumps in excitement thinking you have arrived When I hear voices from afar, my entire body wakes up with the expectation that I will witness you approach home When I hear the sound of automobiles, something within me races He is finally back! I say to myself, what a long wait! Finally he is home... Only to sink back and grow cold for you have better things and i seem to be an inconvenience to you. I have begged you I have loved you I have fought for us I can't keep on like this I re...
