A visitor,
not a resident
once again.

You walk in and out
as though it was a revolving door.
You visit me as though I am a sovoneour shop,
just to see how much one would miss you.

My heart has become exhausted of
the constant switch between the void and the presence.

For you make a vacation out of me,
when I ought to be a sanctuary.
You turn me into a hotel room,
when I ought to be home.

My name was not the one that was to be traced on sand and washed away by the waves
but the one you would engrave with ink on your skin.

I am oxygen
I am water
Not momentary
or unncessary
like the label of the presence of expiry you labeled me with
Or your temporary devotion.
Apparently life is more like a game,
You win according to how you play,
And winning isn't always reaching fame,
Sometimes its simply living with fulfillment in everyday,
In this "game" rules aren't really rules,
You're not obliged to follow them,
But then breaking some rules is being part of the fools,
Because you may just invite unncessary mayhem.
You don't choose who you get to fight
They happen naturally,
But of course that shouldn't cause any fright,
Because each day moving foward must built up strength enough to be protected fully.

Let's talk about feminism
Let's discuss the social perception of the cause
How misgonists claim we are equal
How bigots claim we are immoral
How ignorants can say, 'She had it coming'

Let's talk about equality
Let's explore the land of opportunity
Where being gay is 'a choice'
Where racism is more subtly projected
Where women are still fighting for equal rights

Let's talk about feminism
Let's examine **** culture
How men are excused by intoxication
How women are condemned by the same
How people can say, 'Well he is your boyfriend, isn't that what you do?'

Let's talk about equality
Let's analyze the current state of equality
Where in some states, you're protected
Where in some states, you're rejected
Where in some states, you're infected

Let's talk about feminism
Let's study the modern chauvinistic idea
How women aren't as strong
How women aren't as smart
How women aren't as logical

Let's talk about a revolution
Let's inspire a renaissance
Where equality is revelant and boundless
Where feminism is celebrated
Where protesting is unncessary

Let's talk about a revolution
