Ultimate Resentment

telling me how to dress and behave how to walk and talk telling me who I can make a friend and who I can’t I listened because I wanted to please you Your pouting ways kept me fearful and compliant now I despise myself for relinquishing my power to you

I see women all the time who spend their days trying to satisfy a pouty, whiny man who gets angry over nothing, to control them. It is frightening.
