Rowing
I die a little Next to you Yield the way I never wanted to Love is a scam The patriarchal obsession Why look for a man When your friends love you more? What is the obsession With possession? Why don't men have support structures too? I need an equal A partner Not a dependent I can't fix you and stay me too Devotion is earned Don't expect it from labels Your candy sweet ideal Wraps me to suffocation I'm not made of sugar I need to breathe and live Strong woman You say you want Use your family as examples But wife me Is what you're trying to do You want to be good They guy who fits Into the check boxes Feminism lauds But you can say what you want Your actions are telling Your heart is pure But motivation weak. Don't bring me down So you can feel worthy Don't cut away my ladders To success and confidence Don't shoot blindly To fuel your discontent Don't grasp at straws Of jealousy fueled flaws. There's space in my life For someone who builds me Space in my life to build him up too But lately I'm feeling Pretty one-sided Here, take your oar. I'm not rowing for two.
