BEHOLD… THE “BATCH” IN A MAN’S LIFE

A “Batch or Batches” is a word that refers to a woman
with a strong backbone. Someone who has
a firm personality; who’s strong; who don’t follow for no reason; who cannot be
easily intimidated by a man; who knows what she wants; who stands on what she
believes in and will never give in, instead will make a compromise that will
still prove her point.
A “batch” is the opposite of a “doormat”. Doormat is a word that refers to a woman who
follows what you say; who wears the kind of clothers that only her mate picks
out; who would just patiently wait and take care of a drunk husband; who never
say no to his man; someone who’s life revolves around his partner and nothing
more.
Study shows that most men would chose to marry a batch
than a doormat because of the following reasons: a batch would most likely takes care of
everything in times of trouble; their arguments makes you think and their firm
decision makes it easier to get things done; and they learn a lot from them.
But, did you know that… at the back of every strong
backbone of a “batch” lies a “sweet and tender loving woman”? They are most probably the most sentimental
and emotional ones. They are very
sensitive when it comes to loving and feelings. When a batch falls in love they tend to lose themselves. Yet, no batch will admit this! Because they make sure that the strong
personality comes out in the open.
Have you
ever heard of the song “Superwoman”. The song brings out and expresses the
frustrations and complains of a batch. As the song goes… “I’m not your
superwoman, I’m not the kind of girl that you can let down and think that everythings ok. Boy I am only human. This girl needs more than occasional hugs as
a token of love from you to me.” For no matter how strong a batch may be,
no matter how tough they may look like, they have a soft heart that needs to be
loved. “I’m the kind of girl that can
treat you so sweet But you got to realize that you’ve got to be sweeter to me.”
Who would ever know
that? Not their man, since most of the
man that falls or marry a batch thought that they are strong enough to take
everything. They thought that… a batch
understands the insensitivity of their man; that they wouldn’t mind if they
cannot open the door or help them with their things because they know that a
batch is independent.
Well, there comes the complications because a batch’s
only dream is to be loved… They needed
the sweetness and affection of a man more than anyone else because it is where
they gain strength from; they needed someone who would take care of them, who
wouldn’t mind seeing them when they cry; who would understand when they fail
and someone who would still love them even if their weakest point sets in.
Here is a poem showing the sentiments of a strong woman
or the one we call a “Batch”.
WE’RE TOGETHER YET I’M
ALL ALONE
There
you are few inches away
But
it felt like you always break away.
There
you are an arm reach
Yet
reaching you seems so hard for me.
We
ate on one table together
Still
feels we were sitting on both end;
We
share one bed at night
Yet
there is a gap between us that is very wide;
We
spend time on one room most of the time.
But
I cannot feel your presence in my life.
No
matter what I do, it’s really hard for me to reach you.
I
wish every second…
…
for you to just touch my hand even if I don’t ask;
I
hope every minute…
…
for you to just sit beside me and try to understand;
I
longed for the day…
That
you will just cuddle me in bed, saying “everything’s gonna be fine.”
Because
it feels so alone knowing that you think I don’t exist in your life.
