i don’t breathe for you

i don’t owe you a smile

i won’t bear the weight of your ego on my

frail shoulders i won’t

grit my teeth and hold my

tongue when you speak over me

i won’t. 

your comfort isn’t my responsibility.

come here, darlin’ let me

see that pretty face;

give me a smile,  let me see it come here,

come here, come.

i’m your babe when i conform and a bitch when i don’t?

i’m your honey when i’m sweet but you can’t handle the sting?

i’ll make your bones snap at the shrill

delicate arrogance, you’ll choke at the hands of my voice
