What a radical thing to say, I know.

But you think it.

You feel it.

You've experienced it too.

But being able to call yourself a good person means that you pressure yourself into thinking otherwise.

You want to believe that people so the bad people won't feel compelled to treat you badly.

How's that working for you?

The conclusion you'll have to bring yourself to admit is this: men don't respond kindly to virtue, it's consequence that inspires kindness and concern.

You aren't paid to be kind at work, are you?

Nope!

You are paid for your skill, your ingenuity, and your work ethics.

You code switch to present more tolerable disposition, but you wouldn't be employed long without the skills to help your employers retain money or make money.

Why put that pressure on yourself when you know by now that it never pays off.

You secretly wish to be a bytch without consequence.

You want to tell men to shove it up that glory holes!

But you can't because you risk being called out your name, or worse, physically assaulted.

So you pretend to unbothered emotionally. You pretend to be giving and loving to a fault.

But the real you doesn't want to need any man!

Because you understand the powerlessness within needing them, the lack of stability both emotionally and financially, but you go along to follow the script of what femininity ought to look and act like.

No rest for the weary, though.

Aren't you tired of being scared and weary?

Aren't you tired of feeling confused and ashamed?
