Dear MAN ... YOU ARE NOT THE BEST!

Marwa Rakha
Dear MAN

I look at you

and I see greatness

for in your eyes I see the strength of a Pharaoh

and the depth of a legend.

I rest my face

in the palm of your hand

to lose my worries in the comfort of your embrace

and to sink my burdens in your serenity.

Listening to you talk

feeds my dreams

and dreaming of you

warms my wandering soul.

Look at my face and how it lit up

when I laid eyes on you.

Look at my eyes

and watch me come back to life.

I summoned you with the power of my thoughts

like a hermit praying for absolution.

I uttered silent prayers and recited my holly psalms

to show you the way to my heart.

I laid down my scepter

I took off my crown

I gave up my power


for in sacred submission I have given myself to you.

My dear Man,

You might not have the most paying job,

the fanciest car,

the biggest house,

or the most loaded bank account.

You might not be the most intellectual,

the brightest,

the wittiest,

or the most eloquent.

You might not be the most handsome,

the sexiest,

the funniest,

or the most committed.

But, your love, hug, touch, voice, thoughts, and jokes are right

Your aura just feels right.

You feel right.

I feel right around you.

You might not be the one who loved me the most.

I know that you might not be the best

but I want you to know that

you are the right one.

Yours truly,

Me

I have come a long way from the scared little girl that I once was ... I found my passion in writing, my voice in teaching & training, and my strength in marketing ... I took off my mask ... and I decided to speak up and loud .. as loud as loud could ever be.

This is neither a ruthless attack on men nor a blind defense of women. This is not bitterness released or anger withheld. This is another attempt to figure out the beliefs of the heart and the passions of the mind.

We either choose to play victim and blame men for our messy personal lives, or wallow in self disgust as we take the blame for their shameful actions.

It is time to rise above blame and take control of our actions, reactions, and lives.

When you take a blow do not turn the other cheek; men are not to blame when they use the rights you gave them
