Bambi (Inspired by Jidenna)

Why did you treat me that way if you loved me so much?

Sooo…. It was bogus for other men to treat me that way, but somehow your mistreatment is different.

You know you don’t really want me, so why can’t anyone else have me?

We as women spend so much time out of our lives loving men that only offer a selfish kind of love. They tell us that we are the only ones… they sell us promises of fairytales. But that’s all they are… TALES.

I’m a Bambi… hell most of us have been Bambi. We fall in love. We believe in them. Instead of honesty and follow-through, we are told a web of lies so that THEY can canodle with other women. Us as women then compete with each other unnecessarily for a love that will never belong to any of us. Why couldn’t you have been honest and give me my choice? Some women can handle polygamy or polyamory… but you’ll never know if you don’t ask.

What about MY heart? HELL, what about my health?

Women admonish you to stop investing your time and energy with THEM, that continue to lead you on. Males who pose as men but are still cowardly little boys inside.

Men I encourage you to be honest…FOR REAL!!! Lying to me never protected me… never spared my feelings. It made me feel like a fool. I was embarrassed, hurt. How is that showing me love? Did you even think about what you were doing and how it would affect me before you did it? Did you think about how it would make me cry?

Now there is a man that wants to treat me right and you are jealous. You want to ruin it. He wants to actually GIVE me the fairytale and he makes me happy but instead of wishing me well you’d rather see me as miserable as you are. You don’t own me! I’m not an object to be acquired. A toy to be played with and put down when you get tired.

I am a WOMAN. A woman with feelings, needs, thoughts, goals, values, and standards. You didn’t want to answer the call… so he did. I’m leaving the field.

I have been Bambi… I know how she feels. Many of us are Bambi… where is Faline? I beware of the Lions now.
