Blowing off steam

Though mostly ok,

I have moments of rage,

when these sorts of things

explode onto the page.

I am an empath

so I feel all your hurt.

It will consume me

if not released in spurts.

Feeling too keenly

is my gift and my curse.

I’ve learned to unload

through questioning verse.

Trigger warning: Loads of feminism and sarcasm below! :D

Our dearest girl,

Please be docile,

and please

be compliant.

Please

keep your voice down.

We like you quiet.

Always be willing,

and turning your cheek.

We love you best

when

you’re passive and meek.

Always give way

and be

obliging,

and be

agreeable,

and

always smiling.

Do not share your views,

do not make a fuss.

We have decided.

Now

do as you

must.
