I never said I was perfect.
I know I have my flaws.
I do my best to cover them up.

Being the opposite
Of what I am.

Being something
That I'm not.

Accepting other's views.
Improving.

Can't you just accept
The way I do things?

How much more Perfect* Do I have to be?
Living for others for nearly my whole life I've forgotten how it's like to live for myself.
It's the only thing
You can say.

"Bossy"

There's something
You've never realized
When you only ever say

"Bossy"

You don't judge
Someone else
Without comparing yourself
First

So please.

Okay.
I know I like to get things
Done
Fast.
But without any
Edge
Without any
Form
Plan
Firmness

How do you expect me
To lead?
In a room full of chatter
And one
Tiny
Voice
Asking a question
Nobody hears?

Or getting things done
Before time's up
If I stand there
And shut up?

All you ever do
Is tell people what to do
Force Your ways
On to others
Like in history
Trying to be the loudest
In the room
Cut others' off
Criticize without basis
Throw out words
Carelessly
As if they didn't weigh a thing

Without realizing

YOU'RE EXACTLY THE SAME

Or worse.

So tell me.
Who
Is
"Bossy"?
Take heart
When you’re hurt
Its art
Of being smart.

I never really liked my name
until I heard you say it
with genuine & care
the way it flows through your mouth
leaves me breathless

You speak it like it's your own language
a code only you can decipher
like an inside joke just for you
the way you whisper it in my ears
filled with love & certainty

The way you pronounce it
every syllable like a music to my soul
the way you caress it
to convey conversations
makes my heart skip a beat

Whenever you mumble my name
I know only good things
comes out of it
for you want to
leave a mark, which is a smile on my face

You once said that if you could
you would make a poem
a song, a rap out of it
to show your appreciation & affection
of the wonder of my name

You used to express it
with lots of pride & integrity
you'd yell it out loud
until your out of breath
to tell others how my name
is so beautiful
that deserves to make a big deal out of itself

Until now I never really liked my name
because it reminds me you used to worship it
with loads of care & sincerity
now it just makes me feel broken
for I'll always remember
how you spoke my name
with your low husky soothing voice
that will always leave me breathless
And so the angel
Broke her silence.
