Ode
He's Just A Friend
Oh no, babe he's just a friend But she's low key crushing on him hard She slides in his DMs, and sends him memes She vibes with his humor, and feels a spark He's just a friend, she tells her bae But he can tell something is off He sees her phone blow up, and hears her tone switch He wonders who he is, and what they got He's just a friend, she lies to herself But she knows she's caught in a web She wants him more than anything, and can't say no to him She's stuck between two loves, and in a mess He's just a friend, she says to her squad But they can see through her facade They know she's cheating on her boo, and playing with his heart They warn her of the consequences, and how it will end bad He's just a friend, she says to him But he can feel the chemistry He likes her more than a friend, and wants to be with her He asks her to leave her man, and choose him instead He's just a friend, she says no more But she's already made her choice She breaks up with her boyfriend, and runs to him She thinks she's found her happiness, but soon she'll regret it

For The Men
Within the depths of the night, where greed reigns supreme, Lies the tale of men enduring a life of pain and dreams. As kids, we're taught to be tough, to never show our tears, To hide the scars of our struggles, buried deep within our fears. With every scrape and bruise, we're told to walk it off, For pain is just a part of life, a lesson hard to scoff. Beneath the bravado, lies a heart that longs to cry, To release the pent-up anguish, and let the tears fly high. Yet society demands our silence, and emotions kept in check, For we are meant to be stoic, never showing a speck. Through the trials of adolescence, they navigate the storm, Struggling to find our place, to weather and conform. With every judgment passed, we're weighed down by the load, Carrying the burden of expectations, on a perilous road. From the playground taunts to the pressures of success, We fight against the tide, striving to impress. But no matter how hard we try, we're never good enough,Bound by society's standards, feeling oh so rough. As we step into adulthood, the weight only grows, Bearing the scars of our past, where pain eternally flows. Navigating through relationships, we stumble and we fall, Trying to find love's embrace, amidst the shattered wall. Love can be a battlefield, where hearts are torn apart, Leaving us broken and bruised, with wounds upon our hearts. We search for solace in the arms of another, Only to find ourselves drowning, in the depths of our lover. And as we face the challenges, of work and of life, We're met with obstacles, cutting like a knife. The pressure to provide, to be the breadwinner strong, Leaves us feeling inadequate, in a world that feels so wrong. But still, we soldier on, despite the pain we endure, For we know no other way, our resilience pure. Though the road may be rocky, and the path may be long, We carry on with courage, our spirit ever strong. So here's to the men, who brave the storm each day, Facing pain and persecution, in every single way. May we find strength in our struggles, and solace in our pain, For our journey is a testament, to the human spirit's reign.

Life of a Woman.
She is born with a spark in her eyes She grows up with curiosity and wonder She learns from her parents and teachers She dreams of her future and possibilities She enters the stage of adolescence She discovers her body and emotions She explores her identity and passions She faces her challenges and decisions She experiences the highs and lows of love She dates some guys who break her heart She trusts some friends who stab her back She learns from her mistakes and moves on She meets the love of her life She feels the butterflies and the sparks She shares her hopes and her fears She says yes to the ring and the vows She marries the man of her dreams She builds a home and a partnership She supports him in his goals and endeavors She waits for the right time to start a family She carries the seed of life within her She gives birth to a new soul with pain and joy She feeds the baby with her body and heart She puts her family's needs above her own She raises her children with love and care She teaches them values and skills She guides them through their ups and downs She lets them go when they are ready to fly She enjoys her grandchildren's company She spoils them with gifts and stories She watches them grow and learn She feels proud and happy for them She loses her husband to death She mourns him with tears and memories She misses him every day and night She finds comfort in her faith and friends She lives alone in her old age She talks very little and listens more She reads books and watches TV She looks forward to seeing her grandkids She suffers from some medical issues She visits doctors and takes pills She endures pain and discomfort She hopes for a cure and relief She dies peacefully in her sleep She leaves behind a legacy and a mark She is remembered by her loved ones She is celebrated by her family and friends She is a woman, a sister, a lover, a mother, a friend She is a human, a spirit, a warrior, a healer, a leader She feels the pain of being a woman, but she also celebrates the joy She is more than a woman, she is a wonder She is more than a human, she is a hero She feels the pain of being a woman, but she also creates the joy She lives the journey of being a woman, but she also changes the world
