If He’s Mean to You It Means He Likes You

August 2016

He squeezed it on your head, but it’s just glue.

A hot shower will wipe your tears, too.

Get on the bus or you’ll be late for school.

I promise that you’re his special jewel.

If he’s strict it means he cares for you

And he’ll protect you from another man’s view.

Remember you’re his jewel even if he’s jealous.

Plus he has a reason not to trust you around other fellas.

If he yells at you it means he values communication.

Where are your manners and appreciation?

He’s trying to make you understand

What it really means to be loved by a man.

If he grabs you it means he holds you highly.

With those marks you should wear some sleeves.

Go ahead and look for one in your drawers,

Just don’t mind the panties that aren’t yours.

If he hits you it means you’re worth fighting for,

So come on up, let’s get you off the floor.

It’s just one of his moods, it’s nothing new.

Remember I once said, “If he’s abusive it means he loves you.”

Where do we draw the line between playful and aggressive?

We are teaching our girls to believe that love is oppressive.

The boy who throws paper

Soon becomes the shaper

Of a little girl’s perception

Of what it means to show affection.

And when black and white blend into gray

Our poor little girl will never see color the same way.
