Easy
EASY
Everyone wants easy
Easy is for sissies
Easy leads to nothing
Easy lasts seconds
Easy is a waste of effort
Easy people
Are either
Fast to bed
Or compliant
Neither can be said of me
And I like it
That way
Having never understood
The concept
Of EASY
I have come the wrong way round
Struggled
Strived
Persevered
Overcome
Worked for it
Easy was never my destiny
I am a moat you swim
A wall you climb
A fortress you assail
I am work
Which we all knows
Is opportunity
If you can only
See the value
Of the connection
The value of true love
Of real love
Of love
Honesty, it is what I have
It is what I deal
You don’t want that
Can’t stand to hear the truth
Please, keep on walking
I won’t lie
I don’t molly coddle
I speak what comes to mind
And you should mind
Your business
Not mine
Because I am not minding yours.
Your opinion
Matters not to me
I seek not your permission
Nor your approval
Not even your acceptance
As I said, I am work
I see it as it is
Not as you would wish it
To be
Not to be blunt
But I am
Sarcasm is my sword
My self-esteem my shield
I have been through
More
And I am better for it
I am tougher for it
I will not wither
Nor will I disappear
I will be
Always.
Treat me as an option
I remove myself from
Your equation
Value what I offer
And I will slay
Dragons on your
Behalf
As a mate says,
I want you at my back
In a fight
I am steel
I am air
I am fire
I am elemental
I am terrifying
I am and always will be
As I am
Because I worked hard
For this.
