WORTHY.

 I Am A Lady Worth Choosing

“No man would ever want a lady like me.”

“You look desperate.”

“Don't be desperate for a relationship.”

“You're not beautiful.”

“You're not worth it.”

Lol...

All this for me?

All this for a lady that dared to dream.

A lady with the crooked teeth.

A lady with a lovely daughter.

A lady that learned the hard way and is still learning.

A lady that learnt to say NO...

and mean it.

Omo, I know say I lot.

I know I no be everybody's cup of tea.

I know I've made mistakes.

I've had my moments.

I've wanted things so badly that maybe, sometimes, I gave off the energy of desperation.

Buh I beg to differ with that first phrase.

I am a lady.

A woman worth standing beside a real man.

A builder.

A sensible being.

A man who understands that having a woman beside you isn't about finding someone without flaws, but finding someone real enough to build with.

Desperate?

Maybe I was.

Maybe I gave that energy.

Buh not anymore.

Yh, I want love.

I want stability.

Consistency.

Feelings.

The kind of love that doesn't leave me questioning where I stand every other day.

I want to be chosen.

I want to be wanted.

I want something real.

Buh omo...

I no fit kill myself.

😂

Because wanting love doesn't mean I'll beg for it.

Wanting companionship doesn't mean I'll accept anything.

Wanting a relationship doesn't mean I'll abandon myself just to keep one.

I've learnt to say NO.

And these days, when I say it...

I mean it.

I know I deserve everything good and real.

Not perfect.

I'm not perfect either.

Far from it.

But hey...

it's me.

The crooked teeth.

The daughter.

The mistakes.

The lessons.

The softness.

The madness.

The woman who loves deeply.

The woman who is still learning.

The woman who can give her all and still, somehow, learn when to keep something for herself.

I could make a whole list of why I'm worth knowing.

Buh nah...

find out yourself.

If you get to know me and discover all the beautiful, complicated, crazy little pieces that make me who I am...

then you're lucky.

And if I get to know you and discover that you're actually the kind of man worth standing beside?

Then I'm lucky too.

So no...

I don't need every man to want a lady like me.

I only need the right one to recognise her. 🖋️🤍
