Man Child

I Probably Shouldn’t Even Think It

By Kelli Sheckler-AmsdenPublished about a year ago Updated about a year ago 1 min read

Toothpaste on the counter

hair shavings in the sink

A pile of dirty laundry

well, I mean, what is a girl to think

I never wanted to be your mama and sure as hell won’t be your maid

it’s not a contract to be signed

And it’s not an even trade

you’re only proving that you’re nothing but a man child

I’m able to bring home my own bacon

and I can fry it in a pan

So why exactly is everyone making

me feel like I need a man?

I don’t need it baby

I don’t even want to try

I can’t trade my peace on maybe

I’m sorry, I can’t settle for a man child
