Peom:~ READ TO FATE...CHANGE OR HATE ~ By Blake Nel

It is pathetic how much 
The word value is being misused 

It is pitiful to see how people grade their 
Self esteem with their body according 
To what others thing 
Ass competition 
Boobs competition 
Teeth competition 
Swag 

It is shameful to sell your dignity 
For fantasy 
And judge yourself according to the way others judge you 

You are too dark... then you bleach 
You are too fat... then you wanna grow super thin 
You are old school...so you cut your good old jeans to show how much you've got beautiful thighs 

Girls if you get a guy by the power of your body then you are only worth what the eyes sees
And once he sees better... 

Guys if you buy a girls love 
Tomorrow they'll be a better bidder 

Oh I forgot the word love this days is born out of interest 
And not mutual feelings and acceptance 

"If he can't buy you iPhone 7 is that a man sef..."
If she can't sleep at your place and make you...is that a bae sef" 

And still you say I'M IN LOVE 
I guess there's a misconception between love and lust. 

This tendency has turned the good guys into counselors 
You know when your boyfriend hurts you you remember that sweet boy in your phone who is so kind and seek for advice 
Totally ignoring his feelings 
When he can treat you far better 
But you're blinded with eyes that are open but can't see 
And you just keep hurting your heart 

Or when your girlfriend hurts you and you go talk to that girl you call "church girl" simply because she respects her body and knows her worth...there are still whores in churches... excuse my French

Love is gradually being misused and abused 

It is a shame you just wanna look like everyone 
Act like everyone 
But in conversation you say you are different 

How do I look ? So you think anyone will say you ugly lol 
Get yourself a mirror 
Nice pose... I know right 
Chilling at that expensive restaurant 
With my bae 

Comments be like... Oh my God I'm so jealous 
My comment be like WHAT THE FUCK 

CAN YOU JUST LIVE LIFE 
INSTEAD OF POSTING IT 

Can you just know your worth and stop selling yourself that cheap for everyone's judgement 

I'll know I've made it the day my poems get 
To have more appreciation and recognition than my photos 

You might hate me for this 
But it's no personal diss 
Your judgement about me matters 
To you not me 

Peace
