Love Unconditionally
#WritcoStoryPrompt120

You'll realize a person's worth
When they appear like a magician
Like a ghost in the wind
It is how they have always been

It's an illusion, too much confusion
Pain, frustration when you're lost
Scream, help, silence was your friend
No one answered, no one came

Not a ghost in the machine
The machine doesn't play games
People are the ghost in the wind
Come and go, they only see their worth

They believe you aren't worthy
Leave, value when they're gone
Who, what, where, and when
Only a man would threaten this

You are man, and what do you mean
See value when your gone
Problem is you never showed up
All my life I've been the knight

There's no ghost in the value of my love
I am woman, finally know my worth
Do you not see the value of me
Idle words, action for them

Threaten my heart, with what
It's your game, love me, you mean them
Run around saying I don't see
"You have to take risks"

Do you not see, risks is what destroyed me
Took my car, my rent, left me to die
Ate my love up and spat it out
So blinded by them, you don't see me

You don't see I am woman
Heart is golden, loves exponentially
Ride or die, no not my game
No game in being a ghost in the wind

Take your love away then, what love
My value you miss, hiding in the crowd
All I've ever done is allow men to hurt me
Threaten me with leaving, then go ahead

Undervalued, left for dead, by everyone
Tell me I don't care, yet hide
Hidden in the crowd, you want me to seek
All my life that was me, chasing a dream

Dreams of who? Black, white or yellow
Another lame who only sees himself
Who threatens me with more pain
Knows his worth yet undervalues mine

Transparency is what I crave, a dream
A vision that one day, no longer a ghost
Like a magician, poof, I see the beauty
The man who loves me unconditionally

Do not ever throw your ghost at me
With idle words, no action so I see
A man telling me I must risk it for him
Go then that was never my dream or desire

You believe I need to risk it for you
Or is it a risk for your money and fame
To hell with outwardly things
It's your heart in your hands I seek

Transparency is key, stand tall
You forgot, how priceless I am
What real King says such a thing
To the woman, he says he wants as Queen

You keep being...
