This poem is not authored by me….not sure of the author….but I certainly can appreciate the sentiment and feelings expressed: Authored by Buttboy Aug 8th 2016
Am I sick?
Is there something wrong with me?
Because I am turned on by being taken
Being used by a power greater than my own?
Many think I am weak
Just because I submit
In this world of independence
I need someone to depend on
I am told I need no one
But that is not who I am
You do not know the strength
It takes to suppress my ego
To give my will to your loving control
I must give up personal control
To stop acting in defense
I give up my fear of loss of status and worth
I give the gift of no resistance
To the Domme of my choice, my wife
A lifestyle contract
And a safety word
That guides our world
Being submissive is not just about the sex
It extends beyond the bedroom
It’s a lifestyle I choose to live
Regardless of what others think
Without access to my inner being
The reward of my body has no meaning
I give only to SHE who truly deserves
The one for me receives the key
You cannot force me to submit
That is my choice and my will alone
Use of force, intimidation or fear
That is not submission
It is only abuse
I take responsibility
For my submissive ways
No government, religion or any person
Can cause me to feel shame
I will not feel guilt
For who I am
I will not allow myself to be censored
I will be free
I am not corrupt
I am sane
I am healthy
I am not sick
I am me
I accept the submissive me
My Mistress can give me all I need
In return I fulfill her commands
She takes care of her pet
In return for my inner self.
