I am filled with anger
and don’t know
what to do with it.
I am tired
of being told
to drop below the anger
to feel my pain.

I have cried enough!
I want justice!
I want change!

It is not me
it is the system
that needs changing.

As long as we cry
we collaborate
with a system
that keeps on hurting us
that keeps on oppressing us
because we are women
because we dare to be strong.

Putting us back into our place
by handing us the tissues
only keeps this system going
only keeps the pain going.
So stop telling me to cry
and start looking at how
you have internalized that system
and start changing.

I have done enough work
for three life times
I cannot heal
if I keep getting hurt
by the same crap
over and over again.

Something else has to change!
It’s time for you to see
that you’re destroying it all
with your arrogance
with your idea that you can
dominate
nature
women
me.
