Women

depends who you ask

By Hannah UngarPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

Women

"females" they spew

As if reffering to a complete other species

Mans property

Judged

Nudged

Never marvelled

Never understood

Just gawked at

Objects on a shelf

Wondering

Constantly

If her decisions will tarnish her

Discredit her

Deem her

or doom her

So men choose for us

Save us the utter "suffering"

Of being authentic

powerful

Shrink us

Crumple us

Tear us limb from limb

Throw our broken pieces in a box

A coffin wrapped in satin bows

cheap bastards could at least bury us in silk

Too powerful as a whole

Too powerfully authentic

Too powerfully full of mystery

Complex

Endlessly shapeshifting

yet they tremble in fear and confusion

But love.

We are love.

Until man deemed us otherwise

Wrong.

We are wrong.

We are just women

Nothing more.

About the Creator

Hannah Ungar

A deep dark abiss thats full of stars and suns, blackholes and branches, moons that rule and planets that implode. I'm about as much of everything as I can be, here to strip myself bare and reveal all that lies under my layers for my sanity
