STAND

 


Brought me down to my knees?
You can't even strut on those flat feet.
I had to pull myself down because you envied my crown.
Did I need to latch on to you to make a name?
Boy, that's indeed so lame.
I am far above the superficial fame.

I hoped you would take a stand,
But being with you was like drowning in quicksand.
I might have lost my head for a while,
But I am not dead and can still rock a smile.

You may be fair but you never played fair.
You are a great jester, you claimed.
True, real queens hire you to keep them entertained.

Never saw this side?
Please, I was never meant to hide.
Even if I cried, God knows I tried.

Listen to Adele all you want,
I dance to my own song.

"We could have it all"?
If only you had never made me feel small.

"I am in too deep"?
Who told you I was yours to keep?

You only came for what I can give,
Never to actually love.

Chasing "dumb feminine" women but never being masculine enough.
And still, you say I am not a normal woman.

Polished Sins

  A suit and tie, that polished smile, Covering up sins stacked mile by mile. They flaunt “new love,” someone else’s child— A ready-made story, perfectly styled. They’ve “levelled up,” or so they preach, But on someone’s pain, they made their reach, With vows of loyalty, words so neat, While another’s screams lie beneath their feet. Oh, they “moved on” to brighter skies, Leaving someone broken, with silent cries. They mount new heights, they shout and boast— Scaling peaks on another's haunted ghost. So smile for the camera, flash your pride, Show off the life that you tried to hide. For we know the truth beneath your gleam— A hollow show, a self-made scheme.

Model Men and Their Modern Myths

  Here come the men who love their pride, With “culture” on speed dial, their mothers beside them. They want a wife who’ll light the lamp, While they scroll through pages of virtual vamp. They call themselves leaders, oh so wise, But sex ed is a topic they just despise. If you ask them about anatomy's flow, They’ll stammer, then boast about paychecks to show. Progressive now, they’ll have you believe, Because daughters study, and daughters leave The home to work—but don’t go too far, Or they’ll pull you right back by some invisible bar. They crave the respect, the honour, the fame, Yet when faced with real talk, they’re quick to shame. These "modern men" with their ancient views— One foot in the past, and the other confused. Oh, fools of entitlement, kings of the mud, With egos so fragile, they’re bound to flood At the slightest nudge of applied insight— They’ll laugh, then pull you out of their sight. So here’s to these men, these leaders so grand, With “values” in one, ...
