The glass breaking into shards,
shattering down, the sound deafening,
quelling all buoyant melody.
The walls, crumpled,
Hearts, broken,
Tears, shed,
Hell, called upon,
A wreck has ensued.
A wreck has ensued;
Left all of the race in a hallow,
No, it's not turpid.
How can it be?
Spirits have been axed,
Latitudes have been purloined,
Dignity has been disdained.
Now all we see is vermilion,
Vermilion everywhere.
It, surprisingly, is a colour very sacred,
But when sacrosanct lost its pavé,
A wreck ensued.
And it ensued bad.
Hell broke loose,
The feelings of oppression, cavorting in,
Wounds from the countless jabs, still raw.
Wiped the tears,
Left the wounds untended,
Succumbed to the pain,
But no more.
"Be the change you want to see in the world." Once uttered a great doyen.
With that etched in my zeal, I walked ahead.
Our wounds, are far from healed;
Our rights, far from constituted;
Our will, far from jagged.
So we keep going,
We walk through the chaos;
Through the cynicism, through it all,
And as we keep going,
A WRECK ENSUES.

Feminism for me is a concept, a revolution, very well intended, after all what harm can equality of status cause? Below are some of my very favourite quotes, also, I get this from a lot of my friends, that they sometimes don't understand the words I use in my diction, so if you, my dear reader, have similar doubts, please put down a comment, it would be my absolute pleasure to interact with all of you (well the 27 of you for now, hehe).This will be updated next week now, thank you so much for reading. Ciao!
“For I conclude that the enemy is not lipstick, but guilt itself; we deserve lipstick, if we want it, AND free speech; we deserve to be sexual AND serious—or whatever we please. We are entitled to wear cowboy boots to our own revolution.”
—Naomi Wolf
“[This is] the hope I have for women: that we can start to see ourselves—and encourage men to see us—as more than just the sum of our sexual parts: not as virgins or whores, as mothers or girlfriends, or as existing only in relation to men, but as people with independent desires, hopes and abilities. But I know that this can’t happen as long culture continues to inundate us with gender-role messages that place everyone—men and women—in an unnatural hierarchical order that’s impossible to maintain without strife. For women to move forward, and for men to break free, we need to overcome the masculinity status quo-together.”
