Jesus took one fish

A loaf of bread

Fed hundreds

Women speak

everything into existence

Out of think air

Out of cursed hips and blasphemy

Out of oppression anti clockwise rotations

Continues to carry generations in her arms

She will never be praised.

this is a feminist poem.

He looks at your tits first, when you walk by.
Sizes you up, decides right there if
it’s worth it to keep looking.

He watches your ass after that, after his
“you’re worth being in my line of sight” smirk he shot at you
before you passed him by,
which most likely consisted of you flicking him a nice,
“fuck off, your dick is not a god” excited middle finger.
(I’m not going to acknowledge your dislike for
any of his actions because it doesn’t matter.)

Because a woman is a bitch if she turns down a man, 
right?
And a man gets a slice of cake from his buddies at the pity party,
right?
But isn’t she a slut if she sleeps with him?
And he gets to feel like a stud if she does?

Fuck that.

I am so sorry
that God gave us breasts and a butt
and gave you a ballsack.
(Thank you, God.)

I’m sorry that I was blessed with a pair of eyes
that see behind all her clothes and skin and bone.
I’m sorry
that I was born with a mouth
that knows when the fuck it should
stay shut.
More importantly,
I’m sorry that I don’t have the
capability to forcibly change your views on women.

But let me make this clear to you:

1. I will be brutal.
2. I will be ruthless.
3. I will be savage.
4. I will be fucking unstoppable.

I will annihilate you with no regrets and you
will wish
you had never underestimated me.

Because I am a woman.
A princess -
killing kings the same way
they killed me.

Gentle reminder to women everywhere, to girls everywhere that you are powerful beyond comprehension.
