BROKEN PROMISES
(inspired by the song of the same name)
Say…what you mean
Mean…what you say
Hold your words by the neck
Bullshit I’m not giving the time of the day
Given too many chances to unwilling
Individuals who I chose to let stay
Way past their welcome
Thank you for the content
The drama was unwelcome
Took the initiative to resolve it
Nowadays seldom
Done feeding off the anguish
This is not another anthem
This problem is continuous
This one time isn’t random
Done being the star of your show
Quit entertaining your fandom
Quit acting like a child
Stop doing your temper tantrums
What you mad for
When I was the one that was wronged?
You the one that called me weak
When my endurance was so strong
The first time, I was a fuck up
The second time, you was a come up
Third time was a charm, gullible with dumb luck
And so when I said mean what you say
And say what you mean
You did me dirty and didn’t come clean
With your broken promise
R&B music has been the music of choice for me over the last several days. One artist, in particular, is newcomer Summer Walker, a fan favorite of many as she is known for being explicitly open about her relationship issues and personal life. Off her new album, Still Over It, the track ‘Broken Promises’ has been in rotation as the writing has and currently resonates in my own life. I’m thankful for writing as it continues to serve as an outlet in stressful times.
