Stop settling for mediocracy.
Always giving, never receiving reciprocity.
Steady riding on my train,
Manipulating my brain.
The gas lighting has me going insane.
At first thinking the audacity,
Then self-blame at its capacity.
Being too understanding of everyone's views,
Not yet one person trying to walk in my shoes.
A hand doesn't always need to be held out,
My giving heart becomes expected without a doubt.
No appreciation, no reciprocation.
Not even a thought to make it count.
The structure of your empire will never hold firm off the foundation you built with another.
I hear the Snickers as they whisper he doesn't treat her as his equal he thinks he's above her.
Stop thinking you're my Superior as if I'm inferior,
Just because I know how to give my all.
Since you think you know me, remember my resilience and how not once I stayed down from a fall.
Know when I walk away,
I will leave you in pieces
where you lay.
Burn the bridge you use to get to me.
Left swallowed up by your sea of greed.
