What Makes Me Feel Less of A Woman

What made me feel like less of a woman

Started when you told me I was too stiff

You complained I never let go

And when I did

For you

You treated me like a whore

What made me feel less of a woman

Was when you told me

I’m doing it wrong

And that it turns you off

When I felt

The most vulnerable

What makes me feel less of a woman

Is when I lie in bed

And take it everytime

And I pretend like I enjoy it

I wish I did

I felt like less of a woman

When you looked at other woman

Flirted with them

Spoke about them

And got mad at me

When I told you, it upsets me

I felt less of a woman

When you told me to dress up for Valentine’s Day

And said nothing about how I looked

I spent hours for you

I felt less of a woman

When that same day

You drove me in a circle

Only to drop me off at home

Without a flower

Without a gift

Nothing

I felt less of a woman

When I worked so hard to make you a that dish

And you only at a bite

And pushed it away

I felt less of a woman

When I worked so hard to make you a gift

And you didn’t even say thank you

You ignored my birthdays on purpose

What makes me feel less of a woman

Is when I gave you these parts of myself and more

But to you

It was worthless
