Submissive by Sarah Eller

The hand points to everything
I do not wish to be –
Compulsive,
Unimpassioned,
Submissive.
I can’t imagine my life
without these undesired traits.
I hate compulsivity
because I need scheduled construction.
I detest being unimpassioned
because it is not who I am.
But most of all,
I despise myself for being
Submissive.
I am not the kind of person
to let myself be dominated.
I am an independent –
the stand alone sort of person.
I can’t imagine why I let myself
be drawn into your web of lies,
your deceit or destruction,
but it happened so fast
I couldn’t stop myself.
My fear of you is staggering.
I look at myself.
Then I wish you to die.
Your life should end
in suffering pain.
You should die as I live –
Submissive.
