A Woman's Rage
May 20, 2023
My body was born with pain
Woven through its veins
Like my sisters
We are suffering and wrath
Enclosed in a beautiful sheath
Throughout my life
My fury has grown unassailable
Its roots too deep to be conquered
Stripped of my serenity
Burdened by my plentiful scars
Hardship is my companion and my tormentor
A reminder
May I turn men to stone
Then I will never again close my eyes in fear
I will use my suffering as a shield
For my body and my sisters
