Bite Me

What do you mean, you don't like my hair?
It's your opinion,  but do you think I care?

The note you left on the mirror today,
full of hate, and misery, a mistake I pray.

I tried to be the woman of your dreams,
But nothing seems good enough it seems.

The snide remarks you seem to bait,
About my face, my job, my weight.

My thighs, my chin, my eyes, clothes worn.
All became the subject of your scorn. 

I've finally had enough... I plea,
Accept me As Is, or just Bite Me!

Love it, love it, love it - let him have it, no one needs that tone of atmosphere to breathe in and out for life, or a man who cuts while claiming love. The dude's lost. Your Dad wouldn't want you around him - ha, but true. Here I go again, throw a shoe at me if you want me to stop: you don't really want to use 'need' twice in one sentence?? Ouch, did you throw a shoe or did I hit myself with my own mind? Getting silly. Poetry hugs ... CayCay
