(TW for SA and Rape. I once wrote the words keep it concise then realised how it can be a metaphor for the treatment of women and how "men" do not want to hear their thoughts as they think it's emasculating,so I decided to transform it into a poem.)
Pretty and sweet
Innocent and petite
When silent
Dangerous and unstable
Slutty and reckless
When loud
I can say the same things as a man
Think the same thoughts
But no one wants to hear it from a woman
A man gets praised for having basic thoughts
Not even decency,just thoughts
If a woman speaks out it's futile
But the man who raped her gets rewarded
You want me to dumb it down
for you
Show some skin but not too much
for you
Smile always
for you
Speak when spoken to you
for you
Be ready to spread my legs
for you
And let you defile me
for pride's sake
You want someone to tame
A bird to keep in a cage
I will be that girl
Because I have no choice
I will obey
I will submit
I will let you shove me against a wall
And try to kiss me
Because I do not want to die
Because I do not know
if you will leave my body alone after you've killed me
