His drunken fingers fumbling And the slurring of his Demands to be quiet Make me sick. Take it like a woman. I am tougher than anyone. **** it up, Grow a spine.
So I stuffed it down. I swallowed the bile And clenched my stomach Every time I smelled The stench of his odor Passing by me. That’s what is expected of me. **** it up, Grow a spine.
What’s done is done. Keep your eyes forward, Keep going, And move on. I am a woman And when I say no The mans word trumps What I want. **** it up, Grow a spine.
I live in a mans world So I have to keep it shut Or I will be the next **** Because the mans word is truth. There is no His word against mine. Just his. **** it up, Grow a spine.
It’s my womaness at fault Even though I said no. When a woman says no, It really means yes. When a woman tells the truth It really means fallacies And delusions. It means she wanted it. **** it up, Grow a spine.
So I did. I told the truth anyways. I stood up for myself anyways. I fought for myself anyways. I ****** it up, And grew a spine.
