My blood
Is boiling
I have embers
In the palms of my hands
And hot coals
In my stomach
I am angry
I am angry
I am angry
I am angry that we are being
Raped
Trafficked
Murdered
Beaten
And nobody cares
My great aunt was killed
Because she was a woman
Because her husband
Did not like that she had
Opinions
Feelings
Compassion
Her sister
Died
Because she was not allowed
To get rid of the parasite
Sucking the life out of her
From her uterus
My cousin was raped
Drugged in a bar
And taken behind a dumpster
So that nobody would find her
As she bled out in an alley
I walk across the street
And am yelled at
Constantly
Your mouth would look amazing around my cock
I'm going to fuck your ass
A fifteen year old girl
Who just wants to get to school
We are dying everywhere
Us women
Every day
And nobody does anything about it
They tell us
Carry your keys between your fingers
Use pepper spray
Take self defense classes
But they do not do anything
To get rid of the people
Who are hurting us
I want to howl
I want to scream
I want to burn down buildings
I want to yell
DO SOMETHING
Because nobody
Who can do anything
Is willing to help us
