Clay


As ladies we are not clay

We don't change by the day

To satisfy your play

But we are women and we do not delay

We are not weak to be rebound and relaid

Don't throw us away and say, "K, whateva"

We are worth more than clay

That is formed to your liking of play

But one thing is true. We are similar to clay

In one way

We do not decay
