Self Esteem

"Don't be so needy," he said.
After asking for my number
And never calling

"Don't be a people pleaser," he said.
After asking me to kiss his ass
And then nonchalantly
Farting in my face

"Don't be a victim," he said.
After tying me up
And leaving me
Naked and alone for five hours

"Don't be a doormat," he said.
After leaving his rubber black
Shoe print
Upon my face
And slamming the door
Before i could
Get up to reply.

i think
     I
Get it now

Thank you, master.

Oh,
And to answer your last question
No!
Take out your own trash.


Tom And Jerry

sometimes
they'll ask you
for your number
as a way
to get rid of you
and when they don't call
it means get lost
but the more arduous chick
will see it as a challenge
and in an attempt
to defend her ego
she'll make up excuses
in her head
as to why he didn't call
such as :
maybe he lost my number
maybe he dialed the wrong number
maybe I wrote down the wrong number
maybe he chickened out
and so on and so forth
in any event
she becomes obsessed
she needs to know the answer
she needs to validate
her shattered
sense of self
she'll find a way to track him down
and when she does
she practically ropes
him with her cowgirls lasso
considers hog tying him
     if necessary
"Why didn't you call me?'
she's corners
the poor fella's
back up against a wall
he tells her
     what she wants to hear
those four crucial words
"I lost your number."
he asks for her number again
knowing he's not going to call
but needing a quick fix
to get the pesky fly
     out of his face
but also recognizing
that
psycho bitch from hell
look in her eyes.

maybe the second time
around
she'll get the hint.
