Suave

Say the right words to reel you in

They have all the right sirens of attractions

But it is just a smoke screen

To attract you in to their hungry den

By Amar Yashlaha on Unsplash

So they can eat you alive

Try to get out before they eat you In pieces

By Aimee Vogelsang on Unsplash

You are like Humpty Dumpty

Or broken doll

You need to be put back together again.

You call all the wise men ,you call all your friends to gather the pieces

To help put you back together again

But it’s impossible because not all the pieces was found

There are cracks that need to be made smooth

Those cracks are reminders to dodge the Jokers of life

If you Can avoid and ignore them

By Ryan Tauss on Unsplash

So you can be on higher ground

And reach your true dream of

meeting your true life partner

By Ryan Franco on Unsplash

Who treat you like an equal

And true respect

And understand your boundaries

This is the one who support

Your dreams just as you support theirs

All the crack pieces seem smooth again.

Believe by fearless Soul

( I hope you like my poem and it’s message within ?)
