I Wish Someone Had Told Me Poem by Lady N

I wish someone had told me about love, before I jumped right in it,
About how you could love someone so deeply and then hate them the next minute,
I wish someone had told me... that real love never hurts,
Or has you questioning if yours is real, or analyzing your worth,
I wish someone had told me... correction, I wish that I had listened,
Instead I invested all of me into you because I thought that you were different,
And even when you proved to me you weren't, still I loved you all the same,
Striving to make you a better person, but losing me along the way,
That's why I wish someone had told me that S.T.D's and l.i.e's wont be the only thing that these niggas givin' you,
And while you out here catching feelings, he gone have you in you feelings, when you realize that nigga ain't even feeling you,
That's why I wish someone had told me that these niggas ain't never satisfied,
You can fix him a whole plate, feed him the whole cake, and watch that nigga still have a piece on the side,
You see I... wish someone would have told me to never take pride in being a 'main bitch',
Because love is a commitment and don't mean nothing if it ain't with the same chick,
I wish someone had told me that falling in love is the easy part,
But to remember to love thyself first, for it is the foundation of the heart,
I wish someone had told me, what I wish I would have knew,
And incase you had no one to tell you either, that's why I'm telling you,
