Throne

I would ask kindly,
with a hand out and smiling,
but now I have to demand it all,
but of course I'll return it all in full or more,
your respect, your attention, your precious time.=,
stubborn published folks wont listen to me,
a high and mighty "writer" will respect me,
and plushers wont bat an eye or glance,
if not them...THEN NO ONE'S going to hear me out,
unless I demand and take a seat on the throne among thrones,
if I allow myself to falter,
all my time,
all my sweat,
all my dedication,
my precious sacrifices,
ALL WOULD HAVE BEE FOR NOTHING,
if I keep playing the "nice guy",
or even the "good girl",
I'll just be killed,
ILL NEVER BE ACKNOWLEDGED.
