*Don't misinterpret this as man-hating, but along the idea that women are made more vulnerable by society, and when they DO fight back they are told they are too emotional and hating on men
Abigail Parsons has been whipped around,
thrown beneath trucks, and eventually
stuffed cold into sewer grates.
Enslaved, beaten, and raped,
she would be the villain of the century
Her partner cheated on her
(With her best friend)
Her step-guardian chewed
Abigail into the ground
And every female friend of hers
Boils with envy
Has turned into an enemy
And stolen her life away
And everyone waits
They pushed her and shoved
They used her up
Until she's dry and done
They took away her salary
They suppressed her into
What might be a child-like mentality
They stuff her into bows and dresses
Until she doesn't know why she stresses
Belly-full and glutinous
They took away the right to her own uterus
Never the main character in a story
She's just there to uphold the man's glory
Who ever needed childcare?
The darkness was always her evil lair
The government ignored her
While her family was murdered
By a century-long suppression
And assimilative selection
Abigail watched through a smudged window
As the rebellion marched through the streets
Screaming for justice down below
A stop to the misogynistic deceit
And when she was slapped and kicked
Pelted witch rocks
She never threw back a brick
Or gave a flying f**k
Though she never screamed
If she ever heard one
She'd be right there in front
To help those who needed
A warm hug
Abigail Parsons
That wasn't always her name
Neither were the thousand others
Who never tried to play man's game
