The Player(a poem)
|
Posted By: Tiffany Wells on August 10, 2005 This was one of dem jr high/9th grade poems they passed around skool n' all the girls thought it was cute! I just found it n' thought yall may find it cute/childish but @ the same time alil tru when u was growin up....girls yall know this was tru when we was young n naive about boys! He’ll meet u and sweep u off ur feet He’s nice and he’s funny, so cute and so sweet Surprisingly, he likes the same things as u He does all the things that u love to do He’s the perfect guy, the one of ur dreams U belong together or so it seems! He plays in ur eyes and okays wit ur hair He tells u that he’ll always be there His touch is so soft, his hold is so tight His words are so soothing, his hiss is just right U ditch all ur friends for ur new obsession U don’t realize ur future is full of depression U think that u love him, u give him ur heart Little do u know that he’ll tear it apart U do what he wants, u know its not good U told him slow down and u think he understood U let it slide buy, he’s just having fun U’ll learn to like it as time goes on! He’s taken ur heart and locked it away And u see him wit a different girl the next day U cry and u grieve, but then u forgive He won’t do it again for as long as he lives! At this point u’ve fallen into his trap He has all control when ur in his lap U believe he’s sorry, ur together again U give him a chance, he’s ur only friend Ur right where he want u, he molds u like clay And u see him wit girl #3 the next day He got what he wanted, accomplished his goal He still has ur heart, which he evilly stole He’s taken ur purity, u still cant believe U feel hurt and cheap and extremely naïve If only ur hair was curly not straight If only u looked like u lost sum weight If only ur clothes were alil bit tighter If only ur teeth were alil bit whiter U know he’s an ass but u still want him back And u grieve about all of those qualities u lack All u wanted was to have sum fin Now u wish that this whole thing had never begun U wish that one day u’ll see him cry That one day he’ll know how he killed u inside! But u know that he won’t cuz he’s numb to pain He’ll be wit sum girl while u cry and complain Beware of the players, they’ll steal ur heart And they’ll give it back once its all torn apart Don’t let them suck u into their game Cuz once u lose, ur never the same If you enjoyed this article, Join HBCU CONNECT today for similar content and opportunities via email! |

I've heard of this before. The sad thing about it is that it's true. I hate to see females done wrong, but I try to lead them away, but they don't notice till it's too late. I won't even get into that...it makes me cry how my homegirl been treated. Anywho, thanks for refreshing my memory on this poem. It's deep...

damn thats real and it applys, at some point, personally in my life. i like the level that ur on keep it that way it seems that some girls are just so easy to deceive probally because theyre looking for something and willing to take it from anyone without truly examining whats being given. i think back on my days at GSU and know i was that"player" but in some defense i never said i wanted relationships or anything personal it just ended up in their fellings getting hurt. i think wky that happens so much though is that we dont first know enough, or love enough ourselves to recognize what we want or need in our lives. We come thinking we know everything and truly we know nothing. the way u think now u wont @ 25-26 then u wont at 30-31 its like every 5-7 years we change. it goes from being a little immature(or maybe alot) to being business oriented(ie school,career,finance) then for some women to have a fam and children i guess the same for men. But u learn from those heart breaks in early years. Its like radar! u can recognize game no matter how good it is. And lord know women hav the best game in the world!!!!! but back on point. I hope u havent got ya heart torn to shreds and if u have i hoped u learned ya lesson!turn that radar on and keep steppin but step light and easy u might let a player slip by again then ull really have hell to pay one thru him secondly thru u for slippin on ya pimpin!
