A Woman's Plight, Songs

Phraseology

I think it’s poignant how in a phrase such as
“There’s only so much that after a lifetime”

Completely understates, yet accurately
Portays how importance is diminished

In what women have been expected
To endure by patient, selfless giving

Until – if we are lucky enough to have –
The false mirror reflecting crack open

Revealing the lies brainwashed into us
Vs .the entirely different state of being

We were always meant to contribute
And get to have as part of our sanity

A Woman's Plight, Songs

“Need To Breathe” (Song)

There’s a song on the back burner
Someday I’ll write about treatment

How men think they’re God’s Gift
But have been vacuously selfish

In how they have “given” yet taken
Projecting tepid, brief fantasies as

Using their counterparts shallowly
Leaving them wanting and aching

For true, fulfilling connection agreed
But never f***ing delivered – well let

Me tell you there’s only so much that
A woman can absorb after a lifetime

Of being ignored, hoping for difference
But ever surrounded by lazy ignorance

(Note to self, song titled concepts recorded)

Vampiric Tendencies

“You’re not afraid of me, are you?”

Why do you wish to awaken
The Divine Primal Feminine

When even I don’t know
What she is capable of?

Will you turn and run
When she tries to eat?

Will you condemn and scorn
When she bathes your feet?

Or will you meet tenderness
With Grace’s endless caresses

And violence with equal or
Greater Strength’s pleasure

While sharimg every measure
Through good’s foul weather?

Altered States

Missed Signals

She had requestrd to not use vinegar
Because her sinuses reacted, swelling

Counter arguments kept coming to where
When she got home, it was in two rooms

Feeling her chest clench and a migraine,
She cried out, “I asked you not to use it!”

To defensive replies of the other saying
They could barely smell it, devalidating

Whereupon her exhaustion tipped off into
Hysterical internal reaction to gaslighting

And she fled the scene to avoid
Shiftng into meltdown conflict.
