[blackpower9]

I'm that "friend" for sure!  Im done!

[507papa]

I only wish she was my lady...together we could easily form an incredible open mic duo

[janinewow805]

[jaygorgeous1]

man i agree with her, sometimes we give ourselves and our closest keepsakes to a man thats not ours, we get so caught up in the fantasy and the fake image that this man is now apart of your life and belongs to you, but in reality...stray dogs dont belong to me nor you!! lol smh in every relationship its important to know in the beginning where you stand, so you never get your feelings hurt in the end!!

[MsKayrose]

[ShortyRedd10]

"And All This For A Nigga That Was Average Doin Average Nigga Shit. Like Talkin Out The Side Of His Neck And Thinkin Wit His Dick. But I Must Admit He's The One I Wanted To Commit. So Either I Wasnt Livin Up To My Full Potential Or I Was Just An Average Chick"

[CGrand88]

[Crazitude]

[maryamcfeb93]

that man who got a main chick freeloading off her in her house and aint married...probably disliked this

[mynevaehbaby]

every woman living with a man (not married) needs this advice.

[1yungjmoney]

that was good, i almost started clappin in the library...;^)

[redeemed2bfree]

Love the part where she says she was a friend, not a wife, and should have acted in that capacity. That's wisdom!

[leeleefromthed]

Anybody know where to find part 1?

[Floetry30]

there out of order this is part 1. the one where she is wearing black has longer hair is part 2

[bluedragon610]

[jameelahbf]

Dana it has been a few years ago when we met in screenwriting class, but I always come back to this poem it is so relevant to my life. Love it girl.

[Troublesome2008]

"All y'all sit your asses down, sit your asses down, sit your asses down".

This was so good,people did not want to stop the standing ovation :).

[Toekieyo]

She always does her thing...Part 2 is the shit also!!!

[KAhenley]

I love it!

[aunjel100]

DAMN SHE IZ SO TIGHT I LUV THIZ PEOM

[777brownie]

she kept 100 on this poem!

[rip81106]

too real!

[KountrySyde516]

She did her thing on that one. You can see the pain that she took control of. LORD HAVE MERCY girl. You did the damn thang! Great performance!

[norcalnupe]

I see a lot of black women give their teenage years and their entire 20s to "average niggas" who do not put a ring on their finger. They end up unmarrieda t 30 years old and pointing the finger at everyone but themselves. This sista actually did something that a lot of women can't do and that take responsibility for her own actions. She actually did some major self reflection and corrected her mistakes. She went hard on this one! Big ups to this sista. She gets much respect.

[ModelNHoney]

@norcalnupe I couldnt agree with you more, I'm going thru the same thing in her poem and Im just 21. I'm glad I seen this cuz Lord knows if I didnt I could be 30years old 4 kids and not married

[Troublesome2008]

I can't get enough of this, even after all these years. I love the feedback from the crowd, especially from the women. The way they all say "hmmmm" when something nice is said... :)

[seeingreen]

DAMN! couldn't even wait for it to finish...had to login to add this to my favorites. This woman is the Truth...

[kyssyss]

isnt this part 1

[okdeedee]

Wow thats what I'm talking about.

[Tempestuouswoman]

Funny how a piece I wrote 5 years ago sound like this. The girl is good.

[treestar]

That's an example of good self reflection right there. She blamed herself for the time she wasted & now she know better. BEAUTIFUL!!! I love this. I'm gonna show this to everybody!! lol

[natahalaboi]

at least she realized what happened, all the bitches clappin are the dumb one they aint know what was going on tell she told them, listen to the ooos and auhhhs. bitches are stupid, but she broke some of these niggaz down

[tg343441]

this is what happens when we get blinded by our own attraction and ego, and we fail to see how the other person is feeling....

[brotherminister1930]

She left a nigga speechless, thats how real this poetry is. NO Retort for this one.

[babygurl59033]

YES!

[lk3k3]

oooh my fuckin god

she aint neva said it no better

this shit deep and real ass fuck

[Music4always]

AND All this for an average N***a doing average N***a  s%@t....Either I wasn't living up to my potential or I was just the average chick...

[HollyGOrtega1]

That IS whats up KUDOS To her!!!!

[thefriqueisin]

YOU an average woman? Wow. They talk about hypersexuality...this is hyperintellectuality

[Moehow]

[hazeliceeyes]
