Emasculated

Gentlemen, especially boyfriends and husbands in the so-called Western world. Who can relate to the story below?

I'm sure many can at least for part of their lives. I know I can. We often hear that it's a man's world. Is it true?

Have you ever felt emasculated by a woman in your life? And how did it make you feel?

I don't have the answers as my place today is simply to share some emotions. Please comment below. I would love to hear thoughtful remarks from both men and women.

Emasculated

Princess you're not what you seem
On the outside so pristine
With beauty so clean
Yet on the inside as ugly as can be

You say you want to be an equal and more
A queen treated like a goddess
Your beloved husband is ready to give in to your needs
Despising him you secretly desire to be another man's whore

Not for your husband, no
He's worthless you say
Shouting out loud in a public place
He's just not good enough for you
As you look at him with such hate

Yet as he lovingly complies and shuts down in silence
His heart torn he fears your violence
Trapped, he still fawns at your whims
And you treat him like shit
One day you'll lose a great thing and pay for your sins

You desire a man's man
One who will hoist you in his arms
Who would not dare stand for your abuses
He'd stare you right in your face
Putting you in your place

You want both
A slave and a master
One to step on
And one to look up to
Yet neither exist
A fantasy that only a fool would chase and enlist

You have two faces
Ugly and kind
Yet the one person who truly cares for you
You never treat fine

Ungrateful and unkind
You're vile inside
You deserve neither love nor appreciation
Your not a real woman worth exaltation

Can't you see what is right in front of your face
Perhaps you will one day
When you come looking to tear into your bitch
Instead you'll stare into a house of vacant space
