Are you “The Man?”

Too many brotha’s are going around calling themselves men. 

I’m not God, but if I was you know that would be a sin.

All the women you have run & all the damage left in your wake. 

Have you forgotten all women aren’t digga’s & have hearts that can & do break?

How many of your former girls, need therapy after you’re done. 

How many would say you would be dead when next the saw you if only they had a gun?

My heart, my queen, my love has dealt with the likes of you for far too long. 

Now I’m trying to undo your damage praise God that He made me so strong.

She’s scared to trust me or open herself up to be really loved for the fear of being hurt yet again.

So I figured out, that before we can be lovers she needs to learn to trust me as a friend.

A friend who will be there through trials, tribulations, good & bad times.

I’m thinking I winning her over see last night she told me she loved me & that is a good sign.

So, babygirl has been used & abused by my fellow brotha’s running around claiming to be “The MAN”

To whom much is given, much is required do you understand?

You want to be “The MAN”, God has an example of how you should treat & love the people in your life.

Still confused?  Let me introduce you to Him, His name is Jesus Christ.

Oh, what’s that you haven’t met Him before?  Than you need to get right before you even think about walking out that door.

Oh, you have met Him & you been down a long, long time. 

So why you out here acting & lovin like you done lost your dayum mind?

He is our example of perfect, never failing love.

So if you gonna do this right your gonna need help, the Holy Spirit descending like a dove.

Empower us, order our steps & show us the way. 

So next time we’re in love a strong, Christian man is shown this is what I pray.

A walking contradiction... What you see isn’t what you get. To get to know the essence you need to open the book and read. An enigma; giving, selfless, conceited, arrogant, loner, author, friend, confidant, trainer, model, actor, and life coach. It really depends on your relationship with him. To someone who doesn’t know him or decides to judge the book by the cover; he is viewed as conceited, arrogant or even mean. Which is the exact opposite of who he is. He’s more of a shy introvert around those he doesn’t know or isn’t comfortable with. Get below the quiet exterior and you’ll find a heart that, to know is to love. He tries to live his life literally walking in love. He would give the shirt off his back to help. Raised by his mother, with no role model on what a man should be. He set out to be different than what he saw in the community. Men who abandoned their responsibilities to pursue whatever tickled their fancy was the norm. These men didn’t care about the damage caused by their selfish actions. He thought the road would be easy, but alas, it proved him wrong. Society had changed dramatically in a short time. People seemed to perceive his love as a weakness. Or perhaps they had not come across a person, who accepts them for them. Always waiting for the other shoe to drop, they tried to manipulate a gift to their advantage. Left alone most of the time, he started to set his pain to print. Never intending for anyone to read it. However, God had a different plan in mind. He would use DC’s pain to show the women; that there are men out there, who do feel profoundly deeper than they think. To reach out to the masses that don’t know how to get others to understand what they are dealing with or have dealt with. He simply wanted to help people on a larger scale.
