Becoming a Woman

by Mel

By 'Lissa StufflestreetPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

Becoming a woman is hard enough;

imagine having to face it

while grown men throw out comments,

of all sorts,

at you

all about how much you've made them hard,

or about how much you'll fo'sho make dicks grow

when you grow up.

Becoming a woman is hard enough;

with the puberty,

or the menstral cramps,

or even the growing chest.

But imagine,

that during all of that,

we still have grown ass men

of all shapes and sizes,

ages matching those of your fathers and grandfathers,

throwing out comments;

reminding you about how long you made their dicks grow.

No child deserves to go through that;

I didn't deserve to go through that.
