ENOUGH

This one has sentences in the first word of every line going down (I can't remember what it's called). So if it seems weird that's why :)
This one is also based on society's and men's views on women

***
You tell me it's my fault

Do you realize what it's cost me?

Not being seen

Deserve it you say

It broke me

You don't get it

Don't you understand?

Need isn't what drives us

Equality is.

You wanted it?

Asked the wolf in police clothing

For someone whose job is meant to be helping

It doesn't feel that way

What do you mean?

Were you asking for it?

You don't understand the oppression

Wearing revealing clothes

Not wearing revealing clothes

All that is asked

Men are like that

You're like that

Wearing revealing clothes

Too much skin

Much judgment.

Makeup smudged

You don't look at that

Whore you call me

You're just like the rest of them

Not listening

Wearing what you want me to wear

Enough is what I say

Prude is all I am to you

Isn't it time to change?

It was meant to years ago

Enough.
