These Men.

He'll know exactly what to say by the shades of your makeup and the abandoned look in your eyes, and he'll say it to get something, anything

from you.

You'll be nothing but an undone puzzle and a challenge that he has convinced himself is too great to not

attempt to achieve, while he deciphers every pattern, every smile so that he can declare himself the winner.

It's these men you need to be careful of, watch closely and understand what they are really seeing when they look at you. These men taste like lust and smell of their most recent lover, and they're still hungry.

He will convince you of all the right things - how you're never far from his thoughts, how he misses you when you're not there, how he's falling for you. Deep in your gut, you know...

You know that it's all bullshit, but you think maybe there is a chance that he is unlike the rest of them and the things he says are genuine, but he only wants to stake his claim on anything that he believes should belong to him.

These men don't want you, they want what you have to offer them. They want possession of you without the burden of attachments and emotions. They call you "baby" and kiss you in closets and then go home to their wives to ignore them.

He will tell you that he is love-stricken, that you can't leave him because it's just too deep, and I hope to fucking hell that you hear the emptiness in his voice when he says it, as if he's rehearsed it a hundred times.

Conquer that feeling of guilt and banish any intimidation that you feel in the presence of these men, because darling, you owe them not a damn thing. You owe it to yourself to believe in your own worth above the value that those empty men will assign to you.

You are a diamond that has yet to be mined. You are a raging fire.

Do not extinguish yourself for someone else's satisfaction.
