I was half boring, and never so innocent.
Never before, and never since the day I felt you growing.
But with each moment of gnawing pressure
my ribs will quiver and ache.

My skin feels ripped and with every kick
I realize.
I let you stay in here too long.

The silverback beast can never be tamed in some
tangled pink web of nerves and veins.
The difference between a nest and a cage
is Time.
And thats why you will always prefer your father.

Protect my spine and respect my pride,
when you rattle my ribs, when you hear me cry.

I know it will be different, if I only try.
Another punishment unique to women.
