I'm a Feminist
But
My ovaries are in pain.
I'm a woman
But
I don't feel connected to my main vein.
I'm bleeding in places much deeper than my-
I'd say the word
But i'll refrain.
Instead of being taught to embrace,
I've learned to drown
In
The
Pain
Of
Being
A
woman.
Soft
Weak
Instead of
strong
And unique.
Instead of taking agency,
I'm treated like an antique.
Fragile,
Even though i've survived
Everything men told me...
(I'll leave you to ponder but
won't describe. )
I love being a woman,
But it's a love/hate relationship
I can't lie.
I take pride
But when my head hits the pillow,
I do cry.
In fact, I mourn.
I mourn the excitement society had for me when I was born.
Now i'm rejected,
Because of children i haven't ejected,
Penises i haven't erected,
a husband i haven't selected.
A pariah if you will,
But i have my own will.
Something women are shamed for because we feel,
Feel the need to take back our power
Because if we don't,
Someone else will,
Tell us
What to wear,
How to heal,
**** our souls until we cant feel,
Leaving us empty
Alone and afraid
Only to arrest us for a feminist parade.
I love being a woman
But my heart is in pain,
I find solace in the depths of a woman,
So I know i'll remain...
