Because You Want It

Because you want it,
I'm suppose to have it at your command?
You don't have it like that here!
Nor would you ever have it.
Like that.

Your attitude has crossed the border of respect.
I don't subject myself to that BS.
I am not that poetic.
Not to find reason or rhyme,
Or time to take in my life to define.

My hospitality is not shown out of desperation.
I hope you did not make a mistake,
To believe I fake it...
Because I am in need?
When you leave...
I will still be left knowing who I am!
