To the lovesick women writing poetry of late

There seems to be a lack
Of feminine self-respect
Upon these boards. Turn back
From this earnest neglect.

Why tear your heart out for a man
As fickle as a season's trend?
Find one who grounds you, not the hand
That snaps a toy in tantrum's end.

Or better yet, look deep within,
Discover your own soul;
While some crave only another's skin,
True partners make you whole.

Penned by my hand on the 12th of Mayan, in the year 1000 AF.
