I wrote this poem and named it after a good friend of mine, LaDonna. I was upset with her, that she couldn’t see her own worth. Blinded by false relationship advice from toxic people, shallow and tired memes about what a girl should be, and everything else society offers young women, she continued to think settling for less is better than singlehood. LaDonna isn’t the only woman in my life with that story. In fact, she was the straw that broke the camel’s back. I wrote this poem and it was the last day I ever offered relationship advice to my friends...

Some motivational music for your Monday! 

It’s the end of the day, tomorrow’s anew.

“Bound to sun and the stars/ And every line that connects and ties/ Winds and wraps/ Tight like straps/ Tighten likes straps -

I’m in a bind.”
