Fire Starter
June 6th
This girl. You like looking for trouble.
They will call you a fire starter.
Shit Stirrer.
Some will think you brave.
“It takes courage to stand for what you believe in”.
Anti culture. Anti Tradition. Anti Religious.
Noisemaker.
Don’t you think you’re emasculating?
How do men handle you?
Because women are luggage,
Stuffed to the brim with societal expectations.
The day you emptied yourself,
You suddenly became too heavy.
You shrug and reply,
“With arms and a spinal cord made of steel?”
What are you trying to achieve?
The next time they call you a fire starter,
Ask them if it is your fault,
That you were the child who ate the flames
Burning in your mother’s belly.
