This Dame

Expectations arise from all margins 
To be an enhanced consort, mother or operative 
 My contents oppressed, condensed to insignificant  
How can I give God what I lack? 
Cultivate my lord this dame in me

I can’t say exactly what it is 
That keeps me sane in this world  
I constantly fall for the same ploy 
And expect to receive deferent outcomes 
Liberate my lord this dame in me
