Smothered

Burying my own wants under some man's

keeping them locked away

but they're still there, never go astray

lurking in the shadows of my mind

Raising their head now and then

but smothered by his needs

pandering to his whim

nothing matters but him

that was before I discovered self-esteem

realized I can chase my own dream

knowledge makes me feel supreme

grinning like the cat that got the cream
