Other Woman

Oct 31

Written By PoetSimone

I won’t

And cannot

Be a whole other woman

For you

I won’t

And cannot

Change who I am

At my core to suit your ways

I won’t

And cannot

be more than I am

Or less than

Who I was created to be

By God at your whim

That is not how this plays out today

Tomorrow

Or ever

I can and I will

Value my mind

And hold my peace

Dearly at all costs

I can and I will

Value my body

I can and I will

Set boundaries

And respect

My no’s for my no’s

And my yeses

For my yeses as I see fit

For such a time as is deemed fitting

and you are not the one

I can and I will speak up today, tomorrow, and the next

I can and I will

I can and I will.

Lover of words, unicorns, and all things purple.

When there isn’t a pen in her hand PoetSimone can be found in the kitchen or sipping tea.
