Could I Be...by Terrance W. Hinton

 

Could I be the one I need

Instead of needing the one to be

To those who find no reason

To be the one indeed

 

Could I be the answer

To the questions I may ask

Or should I be dismayed

By my own malicious past

 

Could I be the darkness

That awaits my every move

Or should I replace the darkness

With the Light that shows and proves

 

Could I be the concept

That fuels my dreams to be

Or should I let to dreams be dreams

And only exist in reality

 

Could I be the disturbance

The blocks the flow of thought

Or should I be the hero

That saves the mind from naught

 

Could I be the instigator

Of my own confusion

The blocks the very message

That says, “it’s an illusion”

 

Could I be the mistake

That aligns with regret

Or should I be the answer

That requires much respect

 

Could I be the guardian

The protects the dream

To hold ground against the opposers

For good they bring no means

 

Could I be the beginning

With no end in site

Of an everlasting ponder

Come day come night

 

Could I be...

*GREENLIGHT: the act of women sending sexual-nonverbal messages towards a man whom she desires to be intimate with.

I was having a conversation with a young lady coworker, recently, and it was very interesting and enlightening, to say the least. 

The conversation started as a typical discussion about former coworker that had posted some questionable things on social media. 

You know the type, "I DUNNO WHY SHE POSTED (this and that)!"... "HOPE IT DOESN'T INTERFERE WITH HER NEW JOB!"...type of dialogue. Eventually, the conversation shifted from the former coworker as the subject matter, into the social relationship between Men and Women. 

Now before I continue, I must give a name of my co-conversationalist in order to move forward in this particular story. 

Let's call her "Tiff".

So, here we are, Tiff and having a conversation in which has shifted into a Man is this and a Woman does that...then we went into a matter about Women with children and the social aspects of the two as far as dealing with Men. Then, I asked her a question...

ME: "I was told by a couple of women that whenever there's a child(ren) involved, the father is,  automatically, available for sex...is that true...?" 

Tiff: "Yeah, that's about right...!"

ME: "No matter what he is doing. No matter who he is with. No where he is or going....the baby's father is not exempt from the child(ren)'s mother's sexual partner...?"

Tiff: "Yup, doesn't matter."

ME: "So, okay, on any given day...when the child(ren)'s father comes over to pick up the child(ren), or have a conversation about the child's endeavors, activities, mental status, school or whatever, the mother would, could and will give the father lots of negativity, embarrassment, and/or attitude...for maybe, no particular reason at times...making him feel less than himself and sometimes, in front of the child(ren)..."

Tiff: "Unfortunately, it goes like that, sometimes..."

ME: "Okay then turn around, on the next day or the next time the father comes over...she decides to give him the (GREENLIGHT) just because she can...?"

Tiff: "But, it's up to him to follow through or not...!"

ME: "So, if he doesn't follow through, for whatever reason...there's a problem, right?"

Tiff: "Yup, that's right!"

ME: "But...it's the mother who is setting up the situation...why would it be a problem if he doesn't follow through...at all...?"

Tiff: "Because she wants what she wants when she wants it...!"

ME: "But isn't that some kind of entrapment that could, possibly, lead to another baby...?"

Tiff: "I guess you can call it entrapment but, it is what it is. The baby part is possible. "

ME: " This is crazy! This is insane!"

Tiff: "Yeah, it seem like Men can't catch a break."

ME: "Not even to scratch his own itch...!"

So, there you have it, fellas...!

If you ever wonder about your relationship with your child(ren)'s mother and why she is being difficult at times, this is just one of the many reasons why...so just beware when she gives you the GREENLIGHT!

Peace ✌🏿
