Command
Disclaimer: My account got deleted a few months back so I am reuploading my poem "Command"
Oh honey, you ‘ain't doing it right
We all learn where our place is at home
I guess its my fault for not teaching you well
Now you will see what to do
I gotta set the example to ya
It's hard when you first start out
But soon, you’ll get the hang of it
Either the easy way or the hard way
At all say, you follow his word
He knows better, he says better
Don’t try to refute him on anything he says
This will make him mad because you aren’t treating him right
Give him anything he wants
He comes home exhausted from work
It’s our job to attend him right
So that he doesn’t overwork himself
If he tells you something isn’t done right, it an’t done right
Us ladies can become very forgetful at times
However his memory is sharp as a needle
Just don’t be a fuss and redo it
No matter how much the first time might have hurt
Whatever goes on in the house stays in the house
No need to brother folks with the same old story
Its for our good, so we can become better
He always apologizes anyways
Its enough if he says sorry
No matter how much it hurt
No matter how much make-up it takes it to cover
Its our job to obey at command
An eternal game of Simon says
Where only Simon can be the winner
Where only Simon can speak
He is our puppeteer
And we are his marionettes
He pulled eachs tring carefully
Crafting and forming an ultimate bride
He pulls our strings
And we have no option but to stand
He grabs ands pulls and tugs
Our lifeless and dull bodies into a perfect creation
He is best
But once we provoke him, he is beast
One that roams the halls at night
Preying on innocent victims that you want to run and hide
Stand still
This takes time
Many learn the hard way
When he yells for spoiled milk
We have to take it all in
We are taught that in his presence
We shut up and be good girls
When he grabs you at your throat
You can hardly ever take a deep breath
When he bounds you
And puts you in chains
Ones that you can’t get out of
It turns your wrist an assortment of red and blue
You have to stop resisting
Don't pull away from his grasp
Let his words put you in a hypnoses
Let yourself learn from him
Life is never fair
And we can never get what we want
But we gotta trust that he is best
Because we never want to see his best turn into beast
