Sit down at your table for a second visit I smile without relent For I know that I am not wanted here But this is the mask you asked me to wear Silent, I stand You have claimed the kitchen as my new home I scrub each dish until it is sparkling But the previous chips on each plate are blamed on me Still, I am not what you want me to be He tells me to be myself But, how can I? When my very nature is considered a crime I am not submissive; I do not fall under inferiority I am anything but subservient Meek You cannot teach me to shape my personality It is time for him to choose Between you two or me Hopefully one day he will leave The two of you and cleave to me

For the part of me that refuses to people-please "We just don't see any change. We don't think you two are right for each other. She isn't the girl for you. She is so disrespectful. She doesn't care about what we want. She doesn't show any Godly characteristics. Does she even support you?"
