weak.

bound feet.

pink fabric around our eyes

keep me from the outside.

hook me to your arm before

I venture out into your world.

put the crib in the kitchen

lock the door.

make me fight for my rights

it truly is "all men are created equal"

isn't it?

I'm a flaw in evolution.

put me on a pedestal

and stare with your red eyes.

strip me of my adolescence

and call me a whore.

I apologize for being a bother

I will not break your rules again

I will succumb to you.

how much freedom

will you allow me today?

what shall I do for you.

I do for you while

I let myself die.

yet who cares what I say

I'm voiceless,

invisible.

get me back inside my cage.

after all,

I'm just a girl.
