bra burners unite.

Slowly but surely, I'm turning into a real lesbot. I feel like more of a feminist than I did when I was in the 4th grade and wanted to grow up and be the worlds strongest woman. 


it's stressful
'ya know
playing hide and seek
always half worrying
of getting raped or beat
it's not fair 
'ya know
being a girl 
men cast out their bait        
to catch a fish with their lure


it's hard
'ya know
when you see the truth
when it's man against woman
and gender trumps our youth


and it's not right
'ya know
being the victim of their lust
knowing we're scared of them
but they're never scared of us


and it hurts
'ya know
when you're running in heels
white blisters form on feet
skin dries up and then it peels


and it's sick
'ya know
'cause i can't find the perks
and every time they bare their teeth
it cant be a smile cause it's a smirk 


and it's annoying
'ya know
being scared of a man
don't know his name or his number       
yet i follow his command


and it gets noisy
'ya know
hearing all their heckles
doesn't matter what you look like
white, black, brunette or freckles


but that's life
'ya know
that's how it is for now at least
equal in the law but not on the streets
we're some form of the beauty
and they're some form of the beast.
