You huff you puff

I smile and hug you

You flirt and play around

I keep cool and hold it down

You hurt and bleed

I cure and heal

You curse and act tough

I gently kiss you and call your bluff.

But don't get it twisted,

If I treat you like a king but you sure as hell will treat me like a queen

I effortlessly build you up and if needed I will simply break you down.

I enable and humble men.

Women, understand your power. You make men what they are! You want to be king of the castle but we make the castle a home. Men are leaders, warriors, beasts, bosses ... sure ... but are nothing without women! Like the importance a camera has in taking a picture, women, we complete a man's picture.

Don't get me wrong, as every real woman needs a man as her hero, men complement us but we complete them! A man's nature is to provide and protect and a woman allows this to happen.

Women, you have so much power in your smile, your curves, your mind, your silence, your tolerance, your strength, your love that every now and then you need to celebrate yourself and remind a man that you ought to be celebrated.

Many times we are taken for granted, as many of us women are natural caregivers, the consistent support and comfort we provide for men is oftentimes underappreciated. We boost their egos, we make a big deal about their accomplishments, we tolerate their crap, we nurse them, we laugh at their corny jokes, we fake orgasms, we play down our intelligence, we become bedroom porn stars, we tell them they're the best, we see them flirt ... we cuss them yet we still stay with them. Wow! We do so much to make men feel like men.

Why? Because we understand that it is important for our men to know that whatever they need us to be in that moment we are willing to be it. It boosts his perception of power and him being in control. He needs it. Although he's the man, he still needs to be constantly courted by his woman, catered to, spoilt, nursed, praised, followed, again I say ... we do a lot to make men feel like men. We need men to take the edge off so that we don't constantly feel as if we always have to be strong. the fact that we can have someone who takes control and run tings make us enjoy being a woman because the truth is, if we have to, we will play the role of both man and woman.

However, a man needs a woman to reaffirm that he's a man because she validates him. Despite how big of a beast he is, he needs the love of a woman as her love is his home. It's a woman's world but we make men feel like they run it as we are willing to assume the role of peasant for him to feel like king. However, once you enable him to run your world, exist within your queenly character to remind him that you are not his equal, you are his upgrade.

Enable them in being great men, but humble them when they want to act as your God. The day you forget the power, you as a woman, you allow room for a man to forget who you are. He will treat you in whatever manner his mood sees fit. But the truth is, women, we have the power. In a world of beasts we own, provide and govern the necessary beauty.
