Maggie's Midnight Tea

Maggie could never be his cliché
Female protocols were not her way
Reinventing herself most every day
Always voicing what she had to say

Lone ritual to sip her midnight tea
And contrast how her life would be
To be matriarch of his sweet family
And the price she’d paid to be free

Maggie put her teacup on the shelf
And again she thought about herself
Within that one moment she recognize
That it was her failure to compromise
With a neglect to find an in-between
A spectrum of colors she’d never seen

Oooh! I really like this, it rhymes a lot but it flows very well. I wouldn't mind reading more of your stuff.

How many ways I read this...
and now I'll have Rod Stewart's voice
in my ears
all the rest of this day!
