I bid you all a fond farewell
As these bones turn to dust in capitalist shackles.
No more will my voice be silenced
By gender roles and repression.
My foremothers gave me my rights nearly a century ago
And you still act like it's pocket change.
No more.I will rise above this consumerist nation
And be heard.
Feminism means equality, not women over men.
Don't take offense when I lock my car doors.
You've proven yourselves untrustworthy.
"Not all men."
But enough men.I am not backing down; I am not giving in.
I am breaking free of conformity,
Barely comfortable in the skin you told me was imperfect.
Flip-flopping your beliefs; I am never good enough for you.
But I will always be good enough for myself.
