Loyalty
Maybe it’s when someone picks you up when you
fall, believes in you when no one does or
stands in the rain to await you,
What’s loyalty?
I supposed it’s when the street light goes off,
When everything seems to be dark or cloudy
then someone shares their hope, sunshine
and joy with you,
What’s loyalty?
Is it the money, fame or respect one has? I’m yet to understand what loyalty is because there’s
no superlative to describe it but I guess it’s
when someone sacrifices their happiness
to make you happy, cry with with you when lose
a battle, believe in you when the world doubts you,
What’s loyalty
Someone says it’s woman
But can a woman be loyal, too?
This is the irony of society
Then I replied yes
When you find one royal and loyal woman
she can equate 10, 000 men.
They said I’m a feminist
But I believe loyalty is woman.
