I’ve never known a man
Not filled with rage.
I’ve been afraid of them,
Because we’re not on the same page.
The true expression of God
Lies within each of them.
The true expression of God
Is lost to pleasing their rod.
I’m looking no longer
For someone to accompany my life.
I’ve always been my own best friend.
The men just fear monger.
It’s not worth the time
Or the upsets in my mind.
When I say I’ll never have children,
You’d think I committed a crime.
The crime is not mine.
I won’t bring life into the world
To beat or be beaten.
We all know
How the stories go.
So I’ll end with a sentence,
And that sentence is:
No.
