pushed away
So every day I wonder
Did I sign up for this?
Is this your meaning of love?
Is it how it's forever to be?
How did you end up before me?
I'm I just a queen bee?
Fancy class life
All the great things to be a wife
But shall I ever find joy?
Would I give birth to a boy?
You fail to realize the small moments
Forgetting you have opponents
Fail to give me small compliments
Can't even realize my accomplishments
Your silence is a very harsh comment
What do I do for myself
Time I don't get to share my dream
Friends I can't tell they'll steal
Is this really my stream
He wants ap opportunity
How do I say no when you hardly around
Maybe he is an all round
Trying to gibe me sanity
How do I reject
While you can't even project
I'm trying only to protect
But where is my respect?
Your silence is a harsh comment
Your silence is a compliment
That I can't amend
I'm a lady I need attention
Not to mention passion
I'm not after just a position
I don't need a mansion
I just need appreciation
Only want commutation
Red was meant to show danger
But had let me to anger
About to meet a stranger

Well, Amogelang, it's going to be a few years yet before I make
millions of dollars out of my poetry so there is no real point in using my real name here. But I do anyway, a bit of recognition doesn't hurt and your poetry is good enough to deserve it.
cheers,
Jess
