Please....
Don't
call me baby....
When YOU
give me

Bruised Limbs
covered by turtlenecks
and fabricated tales
of mayhem...

"I..uh..ran into a door."

An empty home
with young men to raise
because YOU
loved your own dick
more
than you loved us....

and Heartburn
the likes of which
Mylanta
can't possibly
cure...

Yo...
Don't
call me ma....
When you use your
size, strength, and tongue
to
overpower me
bind me
classify me


Be honest........
I am your
HOE
BIb*tchMAID
DOORMAT
VIX-EN
VIC-TIM

When
you see me
speak your
intentions
Call me by your thoughts

"Ay..what's up my next conquest?..."
"How you doin' my affirmation of my superior manhood?"
"I do want to get to know you, piece of ass, but all I really want is to nut off inside you, then be on my way."

Don't sugarcoat your slime.
You slime...
Because I feel your
"Daily Rape"
As if I’m held hostage....

Like my mother
my sisters
my friends
my self
ALL
experience
on the regular

DON'T DO THAT!
Don't you dare do that!
Try and act like you respect me!...

You
seduce
me with your eyes
Picturing my
skin
the small of
my back's tenderness
and
how long it'll take you
and how many lies
you'll have to tell
to taste of
my
paradise
...and that was before "hello"

I am the main attraction
In
YOUR videos
YOUR movies
YOUR culture
YOUR performing circus act.
Jumping through hoops
in hopes for a treat.....

You wonder why I
burn my bra
throw my rallies
and protests
form my allegiances
speak my mind
meanwhile
forgetting my "place"...

I am NOT your baby...

I am NOT your ma....

How quickly you men have forgotten.

I.

Am.

Your.

QUEEN.
