Poems
Apr 2013
Smothered
Burying my own wants under some man’s
keeping them locked away
but there still there, never go astray
lurking in the shadows of my mind
Raising their head now and then
but smothered by his needs
pandering to his whim
nothing matters but him
that was before I discovered self-esteem
realised I can chase my own dream
knowledge makes me feel supreme
grinning like the cat that got the cream
