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.
