I gave you EVERYTHING you wanted,
Even picked the APPLE from the tree,
Only you were the SNAKE guiding me,
I didn't know you had used me till I had taken a BITE,
The GARDEN how it lit up in the DARK of night,
I could see you COIL and I could hear your EVIL thoughts,
You wanted to DEPRIVE me and have me take the fault,
All I ever took from you was one of your hundreds of RIBS and added some SALT,
How many others had you used?
How many other EVE’S?
CONDITIONS on the table as I can’t do what I want, only be a housewife,
And anything that happens to me you’ll be dissecting with a KNIFE,
I will not be JUDGED,
I am capable of LOVE,
I fulfill my OBLIGATIONS and need provide no reason,
When all that’s left is the downfall of my PERSECUTION,
Let us STAND and be the REVOLUTION,
Let us be guided by our ability to LOVE and express KINDNESS,
Our everlasting PATIENCE and the capacity to feel GRATEFUL,
We will rise because we are EMPATHETIC, and PASSIONATE,
We are STRONG,
We are POWERFUL,
WE ARE.
