A black and white image of a man embracing a woman as she nestles against his chest

Un poco de ternura

Publicado elAuthorSoSheLi2 Comments

I realize that you may think I have it altogether
I realize that you may think I’m as firm as the rock of Gibraltar

Do you know that daily I feel like I’ve been sacrificed on the altar?

I get that you may see all that I take on and handle,
And I get that you think I’m so strong

But I promise you I too am weak and vulnerable,
That I am as tired as the day is long

I ask that you handle me with care, even when my face is unyielding
(Resting bitch face)

Try a little tenderness when interacting with me
Be as soothing as a lullaby’s song

Make me know when I feel alone

You are there for me, and in my thinking I am totally wrong

Thank you so much for spending a little time in my corner of the internet. It genuinely means the world that you showed up, read this, and stuck around to the end — you could've been doing literally anything else. 🖤

If something I wrote made you laugh, think, or feel a little less alone — consider buying me a coffee. I'm building something real here, one overshare at a time, and every cup of support keeps the words coming. ☕

Cómprame un café

  1. Oh she may be weary
    Them young girls they do get weary
    But when she gets weary
    Try a little tenderness

    All you got to do is, man, hold her when you wanna
    Squeeze her, don’t tease her, never leave her
