Ode to the Domme I’ll Never Be

May 17

Oh, how they flock to me,
Submissive men with eager hearts,
Eyes wide, voices soft,
Seeing me as their fierce, commanding queen.
They dream of serving, worshipping,
Giving me all that I desire.
And yes, I love the thought—
Of being adored, pampered,
A goddess in their eyes.

But reality is harsher,
A truth they do not see—
That dominance is weight,
Responsibility wrapped in control.
I lead in life, I carry so much,
Always in charge, always deciding.
Why would I take on more
When I’m already balancing the world?

Aftercare—oh, the bittersweet truth.
I guide them through passion,
Give them everything they seek.
And when they’re spent, satisfied,
They roll over, drift away—
While I’m left alone,
Still buzzing from the high,
Wishing for a hand on my back,
A whispered, “Are you okay?”

To be a Domme is to hold power,
But also to hold space—
Not just for them, but for me.
I want softness after the storm,
Reassurance when the energy fades.
But too often, I’m left empty,
My strength mistaken for invincibility.
Serving me is not just kneeling—
It’s staying when the scene is over.

So I turn them down,
Even the ones who feel right,
Because I know it’s not enough—
To be adored without being seen.
A Domme without aftercare
Is just a queen on an empty throne.

Tell me—if you’ve walked this path,
When did you know it wasn’t for you?
How did you choose yourself
Over the fantasy they wanted?
I want to know—because it’s lonely,
And I wonder if you’ve been here too.

Quite often I seem to be misunderstood as a possible Domm due to the fact that I have written my profile with assertive boundaries deluding to the fact that im a switch makes them think that I lean more their direction than I do. I am more the submissive type but can be dominant on occasion. What I crave more than anything is not just what you discussed but quality. The thrill of taking turns being the one choosing the flavor of the scene if you will. It is a weary road to travel cause my Sir has taught me thru action daily that true dominance is sacrifice for the one you care for and putting their needs absolutely first

As a switch, i understand feeling that weight of dominance. And how there have been many of times where I needed someone to check on me when things calmed down and the dust settled. I actually recently felt that same “loneliness” & it hit differently than other types. I truly hope that someone out there can give you that softness you need when the dust settles, just like everyone else needs. Doms/Dommes included. Much love to you.

I feel this and have thought about the same. I know my role as a sub inside and out. I know how best to serve my Sir on and off my knees. I also know what I require for my submission. In this I am confident. I have been approached as a Domme but I know I haven't misled anyone to believe I am such. I do have to be firm and explain that I do not have the knowledge nor the experience to be anyone's Domme and my heart is too big to put anyone in danger or harms way, to even attempt. Friendship or an ear to listen is what I could offer (at my discretion) instead as we are all fundamentally looking for pleasant human connections.
