They tell us to co-opt
And be something we are not 
Coz I am soft and I am supple 
And I dream of being part of a couple 
And they say that white feminism is not intersectional 
And it is too one directional 
And I have to agree
Because it has never been me
But there are parts of it I would pluck 
Because I still give a fuck 
About independence and freedom 
But I would never cede them 
To another hand 
And they say to let it go is grand
But I stand on my high horse 
And do so with no remorse
Because the beating heart
Is something that will always start
Within my own 
And it is not something that I could disown
And I imagine myself being taken
In the moment love is forsaken 
And being heavy with child
And losing all my wild
That blows with me in the wind
And the people say it’s the woman who’s sinned
When a man commits adultery 
That you should never let them see your sultry
Gaze
And there’s cities that they’d raze 
Because they haven’t met
The part of themselves they can’t forget
Buried deep within the grass
Hidden in a childhood that is part of the past
And lost innocence will do that 
Far more dangerous than an old spinster and her cats
But society would have you believe
That this burden must be relieved
Into the female prone 
And I just stare at my phone 
Because I loved him true
How could he do this to you? 
In the name of a just defence
I can’t contemplate what it meant 
Anymore
And every open door
Was slammed shut in his face
Because he is a living disgrace
