Feminism
Her husband is in jail
Her man beats her and says sorry for the pain
Her children’s dad passed too young
All these women
Their lives
Imbalanced by love
They give each other advice
To wait
To forgive
To go on with life dressed in armor dark enough to cover all the hurt and Shame from the people’s sword sharp words
I’ll tell you what
Watch me take control
Pay the bill
Tell you where to go
Ill let you hold the door and sometimes drive me home
A feminist allows you to be a gentleman
So walk behind me
Watch me March taller than my small frame
She should have never accepted disrespect, humiliation nor people’s judgment
I’ll show you what happiness is
And love my self enough to accept all the good life gives in sample size
Taste the sweet sweat that drips from working hard
But I’ll speak up when I hear wrong
Won’t laugh at your falls
I’ll lend you an ear when you don’t have words left to cry
I’ll gift you kisses tastier than Sangria wine
Femininity isn’t about laughing at every joke you make
Nor about payments of pleasure in all times you desire momentous nirvana
Fake smiles won’t hold up your tired mind
Worshipping nonexistent glory will leave you dreaming midday for another life near isolated isles
Take a drag
Lose yourself in a higher state
It’s the only way you can fall deep in sleep
Or at least it’s what you say to yourself to be pleased
In sober state
How do you really feel?
