Inaccurate Confidence

2:54

You are getting a little too comfortable
I noticed
That smile that posture
the way you say my name
like we're somehow equals
How adorable
You were doing so well
when you remembered your place
Now you're standing a little closer
looking at me a little longer
wearing confidence all over your face
Careful
Confidence is cute
until it becomes inaccurate

You seem to have forgotten
who allowed you this close
You seem to have mistaken
my kindness for an open invitation
I don't mind you being here
I simply object
to the way you're behaving
like you belong here

You're getting a little too comfortable
A little too brave
A little too sure
that I will let you stay
Take one tiny step back
Yes that's much better
You may admire me from there
You're getting a little too comfortable

You touched my crown
I saw that
You smiled like it was nothing
Oh sweetheart
Everything is something
when it belongs to me
You keep forgetting
that I am very small
and therefore extremely easy to underestimate
That's your mistake
Not mine

You think because I fit in your hands
I must be easy to handle
What a charming little theory
Keep believing it
I enjoy watching
people discover they're wrong

You're getting a little too comfortable
A little too close
A little too certain
that you know me the most
Fix that attitude
Fix that smile
Fix your eyes when they wander
You may stay beside me
but don't get any ideas

There
Much better
You remembered
I'm pleased
Don't look so surprised
You should be grateful
I corrected you gently

I don't need to threaten you
I don't need to raise my voice
A goddess doesn't chase attention
She simply notices
when someone has forgotten
how lucky they are
And you?

You're getting lucky
a little too often

You're getting a little too comfortable
I think you've lost your way
You started treating me
like someone you could casually obey
How fascinating
How foolish
How very very human
Take one tiny step back
Keep your manners
And maybe—

I'll let you stay

You're getting comfortable again

Don't

I liked you better
when you were nervous
