Women (original poem)

I enjoy looking like a whore
I enjoy looking like a bitch
I enjoy looking like a slut
I enjoy looking like a cunt

But enough is enough

I do not dress for your needs
I do not dress for your success
I do not dress to be held behind
I do not dress for your state of mind

I’m not a woman to pick up
Your pieces 
I’m not a woman to take hold
Of your demons
I’m not a woman just to
Collect semen
I’m not a woman just to
Birth treason

You act like we are one
But brother, the war is undone 
By threats you think will help us
By defending what the white man
Tells us

My Hispanic sisters
Are in trouble
See my black sisters
And the trouble is double 
Do not tell me I’m overreacting
When it’s my ovaries retracting

We birthed you sons and daughters
We gave you this air and water 
The money you have that I worked
So hard for
The title you have
That I work harder for 
Do not tell me that we have it all
Until all women can walk freely
And not be afraid to fall

I will not be silenced until my woman is safe
I will not be silenced until my woman walks freely
I will not be silenced until my sisters are united
Until my black sisters have their credit
Until my native sisters have their home
Until my trans sisters have acceptance
Until my birthing hips are free
Pain free
Walking free
Visibly free
Love free

I am my own woman
We all come from women

Enough is enough
