every inch of his manhood

my mother

a man is a criminal, so im always on the defence.
sometimes I can feel like a criminal but my sims are clean and washed away with upstanding guilt I tortured myself with.
a man can lay the law down on me but I can't be on the offence?
it's not very 'lady-like' to fight with your husband, my mother once told me.
my mother was the type to sweep the words under a unwashed rug and purposely forget everything, you know? The quiet type.
so for her, I shout louder and scream harder at a man, just because I can.
it's not resentment to do this, im serving my mother the justice she needs to live on.
so when a man says I'm 'insane' I just scream.
because my mother never did to my father.
all the words she held in her body, she was bound to stop ticking.
im a woman who's mum was failed.
so i will blame the men who make me feel like my mother.
