You think you hold me
Captive in your charm
You smother my voice
with loud exclamations of You
In all Your Beauty
You smother me.
And in your power trip
Of the misbelief you've gained something unattainable
And hid it from the world to share.
You've made me believe
You're all that's out there
All that I'm worthy of.
Never once told me I was beautiful
Never once asked me
My favourite song
Self centred immaturity.
You leave me with
a bitter taste in my mouth
and dark circles under my eyes.
With all the work placed upon me
To make you a man.
I am both teacher and student
Sister and lover
Mother and friend
Goddess and daughter
All purpose woman
Take me off the shelf
and add a cup to thicken your day.
