They tell me, "Your fulfillment is to be your husbands help mate"
That my goal in life is to simply help?
I'm sorry
I'll still get married, and have children,
but I will do more then just help.
Me as the over used stapler,
the poorly kept kitchen tool
is not gonna cut it for me
Instead I will be the words of Solomon
the grace of Mary
the faith of Ruth
the kiss of the beloved
I...will be...his muse
his lover
I will not be a the helper
to come when called on
and put away, to be sent back to the kitchen.
