I'M Not... Poem by Lindsay King

I’m not going to shake this one off
I’m on the floor crying
You’re jacking off to a blank screen
Do you even care how much you hurt me?
You say its love
When my legs spread open
And we do the dirty deed
When I want your arms around me

Or you need an example
Set forth in front of you
I’m not pretending it’s okay now

I want to feel like I’m empowered
Like you have nothing on me
Like I wouldn’t jump off a cliff for you
When I can’t even get you to sympathize
With how I’m feeling now
Oh, I’m crying on the floor
You’re jacking off to a blank screen
I’m forgotten
You’re not
