I’m single, saved, and satisfied
It’s been 5 months since I had any sex
I called it celibacy
Although I wasn’t quite celibate yet
Making love to my self
With lustful thoughts in my mind
Doing me twice a week
Okay, I’m lying…damn near all the time
Celibacy also means
No self gratification
No masturbation
Now I put up my Purple Rain
Biting my lip
With no hesitation
To become satisfied and single
You don’t need any sex
Not from a little buddy
Not even from your ex
I know it’s hard for most people
Because some are not blessed
Celibacy is a gift
And some of us singles can’t handle it
At least not for a long time
They’ll feel like they will die without it
Well maybe they need to find their mate soon
Instead of connecting people
With random people
Wondering why the STD rates
With mates
Are sky-rocketing through the roof

My self esteem is so elevated
Baby, I will never be a size 2
My heart won’t be able to fit the capacity
In a small body that’s not made for me, boo
When God made us
He perfected us
So what’s wrong with you?
You better prance around with your big nose, nappy hair, and small lips
Feel like you don’t fit into society?
You fit into God’s plan
Why change yourself from the views of the Almighty?
You see where it got Michael Jackson
Ok…I’m going to stop because that’s another poem
But you get where I’m trying to get at
If you’re single become satisfied with yourself
Is I’m coming from

Just telling me you want me
Is not going to do it
U promise to give me the moon and the stars?
Baby, my God already did!
And if you come to me with kids
Please get them under control
Because I have no problem
Throwing them out the window
Oh…the baby mama drama
And if your heart is still with your exes
Roll out the red carpet
I’m about to make my exit
People are too busy making their own issues
Their current mate problems
If they’re not on your level
Spiritually
Mentally
Financially
Romantically
Don’t even bother
Pursuing them
Everyone is in a rush
To settle down and find the one
Even lusting after the one
That’s meant for someone else
Wonder why newly weds
Become newly divorced so quick
Hooking up so fast
Realizing their mate weren’t heaven sent

You won’t find the right woman or man
In the streets
Or laying in your bed
Promising the best time of your life
In the sheets
When people say, “Be Patient”
It’s for a reason
Just wait a little while for the love of your life
You will have your season
Continue working on yourself
Have you done everything that you wanted to do?
Is your credit straight?
If not…you don’t need to marry anyone, boo
See a man will have to seek God
Before he seeks me
He’ll have to pray a thousand times
To get in these panties
And that’s only if he’s worked on himself
Long enough
To buy me a ring
To keep his balance on one knee
And say, “Will you marry me, Nikki?”
I’m just glad enough
To recognize when a man’s not meant for me
Coming at me like, “hey baby…what it do”
And I turn away saying,
“The devil is a lie! You ain’t meant for me, boo”

If you’re single and saved
You should be satisfied
If you’re satisfied and single
You should be saved for life
