I've Paid Enough For It

You are so next to the exit.
So close to an open door,
I want to push you out.

Would that be domestic abuse?
Or would that be considered,
Defending myself...
From someone rarely here,
To accept any invitation...
To appear inside my house.

And you want to know what you did?

You do nothing!
Absolutely nothing.
But graze like a cow.
Feeding me a bunch of bull.

And that's all you do!

And all I want is to be treated like one.
Give me some!
I've paid enough for it!
