Woman
Woman
What is the meaning of the word?
You don't recognize my autonomy
Your definition is blurred.
Bitch
Is that word supposed to hurt?
Put me back in my place
take away my power and put you in first?
Slut
Why would I care?
Is the way I dress an offense,
Is my confidence too much to share?
Whore
Why is my sex life so important to you?
Are you jealous
that I don't want to screw?
Cunt
Oh, sorry. Mad I proved you wrong?
Mad I have sharp mind
and not just a ditzy ass in a thong?
Woman
What is the meaning of being a her?
Trapped as object.
My brilliance never heard.

Author's Note
Living life as a woman. Constantly being shut down, see as nothing more than a pretty thing to look at, being "un-ladylike " or "impure," and often being discounted in intelligence by the men in my field and life.
When you are anything more than what society expects you to be, these are the slurs you hear.
"I'm tired and angry, but somebody should be."
