#f-word
So I hid it Took it like a written confession and swallowed it Decades of genders, females and males screaming, as I melted down the word on my tongue they had fought to keep, that they had killed for and won. As I joined a flock of sheep who wouldn't accept a goat Who didn't want to listen when I wrote down that I believed in the allegedly frown-worthy opinion that equality should exist. That it should be taught right from the yolk of existence. That it's regulation requires persistence. They told me that prejudice was a myth Ironic, they also told me I shouldn't exist Told me I was lesbian, like it was an insult, when I decided to stage a revolt and mark the popular girl in netball and win. self high five Oh dear, what a schoolgirl sin to perpetrate. I was taught to take hate by the masses who yelled that the classes of acceptance were unnecessary Popular girl: small correction, although I cannot say you personally give me a feminine ******** I'm bisexual, get it right. Also examine the fact that you thought I'd only fight because I wanted you. When in fact I both loathe and pity you, you do not understand your worth, and you don't give proper respect to the earth of your elders. Who have handed down shoulder to shoulder something different from the everyday pain. They've handed down the hope that their strivings were not vain, and one day this war will cease. The smoke of a pen, not a gun, calling peace. So, I am a feminist and I call for release.

The 'F' Word
Sulking back grinding my teeth is useless Taking out my ire on boneheaded people is ridiculous Asking the world to stop using the 'F-word' is pointless as well Yelling at the top of my voice against the vice is not worthy either Involving not in policing activities without being authorized Not caring for you jealous people is best in these circumstances Gunning them down is impossible any day anyway Lowly words are your virtue commonly crude language people Ostentatious skills of yours are no use against the new born rage Winning your hearts over is better than whining over your malpractice of teaching your kids the F-word earlier than either Papa or Mama.
