Assertiveness Training 101

He, with his wallet, buys a thrill,
Thirteen grand for a night to kill—
But call him out, oh, don’t you dare,
Suddenly, you’re “crazy,” unfair.

The same guy who taught me to assert,
Now scolds my voice, calls it perverse.
“Don’t you have chores or better things to do?
Try finding a guy who’ll put up with you.”

Funny, how “peace” is all he seeks,
While planting chaos, snide critiques.
Says he’s here for “mental health,”
While gambling mine to boost his wealth.

Boundaries? Oh, they’re fine for him—
But if I protest, it’s “Just another whim.”
He lectures me on how I should behave,
While stashing his dignity in a shallow grave.

So here’s to the “mentors” who teach and preach,
Who claims “assertive” yet cowers and screechs.
Stakeholders, executives, suit and tie—
Funny how high that ladder is when built on a lie.

Amazon Worker

Hey there Amazon Worker, Do you think you pulled one over? Mocked my vulnerable side, only to protect your fake pride. I can’t fathom why I ever asked you to pamper and protect. Your wealth was never my concern, yet you watched my trust burn. As I began to share how I felt, you made a snide remark, hitting below the belt. Do you think I care if people change the way they stare? I’m no longer trying to hide; the girl you knew has long died. It’s amusing now that you said I remind you of your mother— What kind of devil hurts the daughter of another? Everyone says to forgive and forget since you were only a child. I would if you didn’t parade your weak masculinity, born of Rothschild. Your false grandeur can’t erase the damage done, I’ve found my strength and my journey’s just begun. If you thought you were good for my image, Know this: my growth surpasses your limits. I’m a woman whose name you can’t tear from the page, And I will stand tall, owning my own stage. ~ Kanika Kau...

Not So Bhavya

Oh, drop the good guy act, You pretended to care, that's a fact. Someone who was hiding their own shame, Called me psycho and crazy, how lame. You tried to charm me with your coffer, Brushed off my pain, saying, “Stop it, or else I won’t buy a lightsaber.” You took all you could and then asked what I have to offer? Funny how you wanted to burn it all down when you lost your maker, But when I cried and screamed, called me a big faker. You claimed to know love, but never took the time, To understand my heart, my rhythm, my rhyme. You wrapped me in darkness while claiming the light, But all you offered was a hollow delight. Now your shadows fade, and I choose to ignite, I’ll weave my own stories, reclaiming my flight.
