A Letter to the Sidepieces of the World

There are songs about you. Some of you wear this title like a bejeweled crown. Some of you know you're not the "main" but don't consider yourself to actually be a side-piece...In any case, gather 'round...I'd like a word with you. How many times are you going to kid yourself? Aren't you tired of seeing woman after woman come and go while you're kept on the sidelines? Aren't you tired of trying to prove your "loyalty" when he hasn't been "loyal" to you?! Stop fooling yourself! No matter how loyal you've proven yourself to be, he thinks you're an idiot..and you look like one. You pride yourself on being the one he'll always come back to...who was there through it all. And trust, he always WILL come back to you, but it's not because he loves you...it's because he can. He knows that regardless of who he parades around and how he keeps you at bay and a secret, you'll never break free of his chains. Though he appreciates having this and having you at his disposal, he doesn't respect it.
What type of example are you setting for your daughters?! To run behind a man regardless of how he treats you, as long as he shoots you some lies to hang on to you... What are you exhibiting to your sons? That they can treat women any kind of way as if we're dispensable?...Queen, check your self-esteem gauge...why do you feel like you deserve this? Do you not love yourself enough to want better? The truth of the matter is men will always go after a woman who loves herself enough to demand respect...not just by saying so either. He draws from that strength and feels like if she's strong enough to turn her back on his disrespect, then she's strong enough to make him look within himself to dig deeper...not just accept the BS he's putting out in the universe. Queen, I say this in love... Get yourself together. Let a man who will adorn you with the crown of being his queen make your acquaintance...as long as you're chasing behind the ones who label you their "side-pieces" or "bottom-B's," it will never happen. You may do whatever you can to deter the woman who's heart he's actually after, but to no avail. If it's not that particular one, there will be another. Because, trust me, men can easily acquire women like you...but they're always searching for queens like me. And lastly, ask yourself this question...if you've seen what he's put the "main" through (not to mention how he's handled you), WHY on earth would you want her place?! Know your worth. Stand on it.
