The man

I find it fascinating,
How when something isn't dominated by men,
It's immediately filled with hate,
Because when women get the opportunity,
It's immediately denied.

I find it excruciating,
How much will I crumble for something,
That they don't hesitate to spit on,
That they don't hesitate to laugh on.

I find it funny,
That if I were to say the same thing,
I wouldn't be able to laugh,
I wouldn't be able to feel better.

I find it disappointing,
That if I were to give my all,
There wouldn't be nothing to give it too,
There wouldn't be anything that didn't benefit the man.

Keeping quiet because it's nothing compared to the past,
I can't help but wonder,
How much will our excuses last.
