The Nice Woman

THE NICE WOMAN
Is always OKAY with everything
She smiles to maintain peace and harmony
She speaks through a nice smile because she doesn’t want to offend or hurt anyone
She is afraid to be successful or fully alive because she would rather not have anyone be jealous at her
She agrees with the opinion of the day
She chameleons to her company to accommodate everyone else's moods
She wants to hide in the face of conflict and just make it okay
She wants so hard to be convenient
And when she comes home she is a whirlwind
The suffocated resentment, anger and bitterness spirals under the agreeableness
She doesn’t know what she thinks or feels
She is afraid of her own anger
She is afraid of her own life-force
She is afraid of her own fire
She is afraid of her own judgment
She thinks confidence is a bit*h
And just the thought of being seen as selfish and mean brings up heat in her whole body
Her whole life is built around the image of the nice woman
Of the woman who puts a cute bow on everything
Who would rather be cute than say the truth
Who rescues others but avoids her own feelings
And sometimes the price of the cute smile needs to accumulate for a long looong time until there comes a point where the nice woman can’t do it anymore
Where comes the point where it’s enough
Where she is so lost in everyone else and disconnected from her own power that the anger builds enough momentum
To crack through the layers of niceness and feel the roaring fire underneath
