He Says

He asks me why I print so much,
Why I can't just get everything I need at once,
And save myself some time.

But honey, I like the exercise.

He says that I should change the color of my hair,
That I would look better with lighter hair,
More people would look at me, he says.

Darling, what I look like is just for me.

He tells me that I need to change the way I think about myself;
Confidence is better than looking at the ground
And need to show people that I am proud.

Baby, how can I be proud of me when you're not?

He claims that I need to let my inhibitions go
Just relax and let him have his way with me;
I'll feel better in the long run.

Sweetie, consent is sexy.

He begs me not to turn my back on him,
That he needs me to stay
I'm the only one who can save his life.

You bastard, I'm walking away from you, to live my life for me again.
