You sweep in like a queen
Giving orders, here and there
Taking no nonsense as you say,
It's urgent, I need it now.
Your arrogance is unsurpassed
As if I'm here waiting for your call.
It's an act, I know.
I allow you to do your thing.
Small things make you happy,
Yes, I'm laughing at you.
So easy to please you.
I'm harder to please.
I don't expect much of you
I just let you be.
A time will come,
You have to grow at your own pace,
See I'm patient, even if it doesn't show.
I know what's important and what is not.
You think you're manipulating me,
Perhaps I let you think so,
But the greater manipulator, is me
Who will let you grow.
Don't believe I'm weak, I am not.
I have learnt to be flexible, that way I won't break.
Some lessons I have learnt,
Alas, that is the only thing to do,
Life's trials make us strong, unless the break us before.
