All my years I’ve worked and I’ve prayed I’ve had a long productive life to this day Suffering hardships taught me appreciation Every humbling experience I use for my creations My journey hasn’t been one of primping and ease I’ve dirtied and calloused my hands, feet, and knees So, what I have now comes from sweat off my brow Nobody gave me nothin as I earned all my chow Well, it comes to my ears from gossip around here That I’m just a B*tch seeking attention, it’s clear The message being delivered to alienate me Shows the nature of those with jealous insecurity And they want me to observe all their commands Like I’m just a follower without my own plans Well, excuse me please for making my own living Believing in charity, loving hard, and forgiving Those who think they can run rough shod over folks Would do better eating their words before they choke On the other hand, the day they start paying my way Is when their word will hold over me a little sway Because gone are the days we women must grin and obey So nobody better expect me to submit to their play Listening and talking to one another is nice As we’ve learned about what the other is like And friends, to me, is what I want us to be Until we find one to commit too seriously I don’t know how else to make you understand But I will not be moved if being pressured by a man Unless you’re the master of me as your wife I’ll do exactly as I please with my life And, if I have 1 lover, 2 lovers, 3 lovers, 4 It’s my private life; you don’t need to keep score So, back up off me, and get out of my face Never think you can intimidate me in this way And don’t come at me with your expectations Or you’ll be disappointed by my insubordination Now that I’ve had my say about the chatter We can be friends, or not, it doesn’t really matter My world won’t stop without you in it to mingle I’ll keep having fun, cuz I’m over 21, and single Athena Rose © 01/16/13 d Having read this undoubtedly u have some humility in your heart. |

Great ink Athena... Consider it a compliment that they think your life is interesting enough to want to pull it apart. Albeit an indirect compliment ;-) Love your work!! :-) Hi, Kahurangi, it's nice to meet you... thank you for your support too... It is difficult for me in the heat of their moments to understand why they single me out for branding, as my life is truly no different from theirs. And now, after one crisis has been averted, fences were mended, my refusal to submit to their ultimate mastery has turned them against me again. So, only time will tell how this little "drama" will eventually play itself out. But, I will keep the faith that karma will wave her magical stardust over all our senses and we will be able to get along, and focus on the positive, not the negative... hopefully sooner, rather than later.... Nice to meet you too :-) May the balance always be within you |
