For You

For you, I speak back.

Nod along with your every word as though it were fact.

For you, I bite my tongue till it bleeds.

always to please you, suppress my own needs.

For you, I am fragile.

Giving up all vagile.

For you, I am flexible.

Performing, ensuring I am not forgettable.

For you, I am a believer.

Tying myself down to something I cannot feel deeper.

For you, I am infidel.

Trying to avoid your living hell.
