Self-appointed
You have appointed yourself
As my saviour
Thinking you know better than me
What I need
Fuck that
I’m not helpless
The only person I need saving from
Is you

ReplyDeleteThank you. Who needs a white knight? Lol.
DeleteEach of us is an individual that thinks for themselves and we certainly don't need saving and being ccontrolled by another.
ReplyDeleteLOL...you sound like me !
ReplyDeleteCheers to you and me too! :)
DeleteViolently cathartic. I love that the 5th line sounds like a well-deserved smack on a cheek that has been asking for it for much too long.
ReplyDeleteLol! It does have a real Thwack! to it doesn't it! :)
DeleteI love it when people white-knight on my behalf--so not. I've also found that the white knight tend to become quite belligerent when I'm not properly appreciative.
ReplyDeleteRight! Don't expect gratitude for something I neither wanted nor asked for. I've got my own sword thank you! :)
DeleteYou said it well. But for the women in my life, though, I would have been a goner.
ReplyDelete..
Equally so. Yay Girl Power! :)
DeleteYour poem resonates with me, Lori, I know this situation so well.
