Signs and Signals

There were signs and there were signals!

There were stop signs,
caution signs,
red blinking warning signs,
and that gut feeling
that told me to stop;
to stop and not to go any farther.

I ignored them all,
as would any woman
who had learned that without a man
she was nothing.

I ignored all the signals,
I passed by all the signs,
as if they didn't exist.

After all, it wasn't my fault that I was f failure,
I didn't have a man in my life,
I didn't have someone to support me.

I know where I went wrong,
it wasn't that I didn't want a man in my life.

I mean if I could have found a man,
instead of a guy,
who thought all women were there for his exclusive pleasure.

This was where I always went wrong,
the basic problems was my self-esteem.

I was too needy,
I wasn't strong enough to question my own programming,
and it affected my relationships,
they always ended the same way
...and that's entirely not how I thought that was going to turn out.
