Powerful, and true!
as a female
when you’re young
if you have the right looks
and attitude
you can have anyone you want
and you can usually do anything you want
but strange men push their bodies
against you on the el
they stand too close
they touch you
until you shove them away
stomp on their feet
or yell at them
they say things
they think are sexy
or charming
but the words
that come out of their mouths
just piss you off
sometimes you hiss
other times
if you can
you walk away
but no matter what
your heart is pounding
and your hands are balled into fists
and you want to rip their faces off
and throw them in the gutter
where they belong
rage lives inside you
lit by men themselves
a fire that never goes out
never dims
and you know
that you have to swim
in this…

I don´t believe in victimisation in this particularly case, I´m taking the feminist side,
who would knew.
You are a woman, you I´m talking about, you are a individual not put in a category.
You as a woman, have the right to fight the big awful men.
Thank you, Charly!
Excellent share, Resa. A powerful poem that tells it like it is. And so true. As we get older, we tolerate less.
Agree! TY for weighing in, Dale. I value your input.
🙂
Your scary post. You are sooooo funny. Thank you so much for this. ❤ Thank you.
Okay, so it came out a bit funny. All of my writing does. No matter how serious, dark, moody, on & on, at some point it takes a turn. At that point, humour is injected.
I’ve got to be careful sometimes.
