For too long I was living in your shadow,

I was to honour and obey

I had to speak when I was spoken to.

You could not understand

After you treasured me with gifts.

Why I still fuss and fret.


I was always there for you

But you were never there for me

You took me for granted

You never even asked me,

How was your day?

It was all about you.


Sometimes it seems as if I did not exist.

I have feelings

I have a voice,

I am going to speak my mind,

I refuse to be mistreated any longer,

I am a person not a doormat.
