Thought Abyss - Lost In My Head

like a woman

Talk like a woman they said,

And they meant,

Don't talk at all!

They meant, cage your tongue in the walls of your mouth,

Burn your words and swallow them with the ginger ale you made,

In the four walls of the kitchen exactly where you should be.

Sit like a woman they said,

And they meant,

sit like you are seeking forgiveness for your existence,

cross your legs as we cross over your wishes and hopes.

twist your ankles like we twist your words and the truth.

Dress like a woman they said,

And they meant

Dress to appease a man!

Cover your skin because it makes the man in your life insecure.

Show your skin so you can FINALLY find yourself a man to make you cover yourself.

Eat like a woman they said,

And they meant,

Eat like this is the first dish out of the forty-seven made for you.

Eat morsel by morsel and tell us that you are full before we reach the second dish.

Eat to show you know how to, not because you need to.

Behave like a woman they said,

and they meant

camouflage into your surroundings.

Make yourself invisible as stated in the manual your vagina came with.
