Demoted

When did I go from being revered as your queen To being demoted as a fool? Blatantly disrespected and demeaned Stepped on like a footstool When in your eyes did I lose value? Making you think you can do as you please Saying whatever comes into your mind Making me literally FREEZE For years I let you take my power Making me feel unloved and unworthy Taking what once was a beautiful love And turning it into something dirty I didn’t even recognize myself After your years of verbal attacks No reflection of the woman I once was Of the woman from several years back Who is this shell of a woman? Fragile, with tears in her eyes When did I become HER It’s at this moment, I realize NO MAN ON EARTH, ASSIGNS MY WORTH Some men know how to love their women And I sincerely applaud you guys So take no offense, to hear me vent To you, this poem doesn’t apply
