Fragile Masculinity

 Like a skilled fisherman 

you baited me in

With your honeyed words

and carefully spun web of lies

You got me dancing to your tune

Like a cobra to its charmer's flute


You wrapped me around your finger 

And tugged me around

Like a puppet, slave to your whims,

You got me jumping through hoops

Tip toeing around your moods

Afraid to crack the thin ice

That is your fragile masculinity 


No longer am I hypnotised 

Not shackled with fear

I gifted myself a pair of wings

Ready to soar free

From an illusion carefully crafted

The YOU that never existed
