So every day I wonder
Did I sign up for this?
Is this your meaning of love?
Is it how it's forever to be?
How did you end up before me?
I'm I just a queen bee?

Fancy class life
All the great things to be a wife
But shall I ever find joy?
Would I give birth to a boy?

You fail to realize the small moments
Forgetting you have opponents
Fail to give me small compliments
Can't even realize my accomplishments
Your silence is a very harsh comment

What do I do for myself
Time I don't get to share my dream
Friends I can't tell they'll steal
Is this really my stream

He wants ap opportunity
How do I say no when you hardly around
Maybe he is an all round
Trying to gibe me sanity

How do I reject
While you can't even project
I'm trying only to protect
But where is my respect?

Your silence is a harsh comment
Your silence is a compliment
That I can't amend

I'm a lady I need attention
Not to mention passion
I'm not after just a position
I don't need a mansion
I just need appreciation
Only want commutation

Red was meant to show danger
But had let me to anger
About to meet a stranger
