Tricia Lucas-Clarke Poet I do not know?

Just Don'T Expect Me To Be Pleased

I’ll always be here
Just don’t expect me to be pleased
If you live with someone who hits you.

I’ll kick up a fuss
So don’t expect me to keep quiet
I won’t.

I’ll always care
But I do feel cross 
You chose to live with someone like that.

You did nothing for months
A big pretence
You said “ it’s  fine.” It wasn’t.

The kids were scared
You smiled
Don’t think I couldn’t see you were scared too.

You read in the news
“He did this, he did that.”
“Why didn’t her family help “we all asked.

So I did
I don’t care if you are annoyed
He’s gone. You are safe.

I’ll always be here
Just don’t expect me to be pleased
Not yet, it takes time.
