Why do men think I’m easy? They are all out to screw me over, Take what they can, Bleed me dry. Just because they are men, They think they have that right. Just because I’m a woman They think I have to take it. I refuse to lay down and die, Take the crap they pile on me. I am stronger than that. Hell hath no fury Like a woman scorned. And this woman has been seared. Beware, you cowardly bastards, You lurk behind the shadows Messing with my life As if it were nothing. But it’s my life You’re playing with. And I’m not giving it up that easily. You think you can take me on? Let’s go... |

Please don't take this as male bashing in general. There are only a few males that I'm upset with at this time. This awful piece of poetry (dare I call it poetry?) is just a way to work through my anger. ------------------ Work like you don't need the money, love like it's never going to hurt, dance like nobody's watching.

Everyone needs to vent once in awhile... at least you do it with words and not violence! |

Whew! I've had my moments like this too, I must confess! I left a job recently after almost eight years of putting up with the glass ceiling syndrome. This may not be the same as your situation, but I can relate your piece to my situation very easily. Thank God most men are NOT like that! Very well done, Tara. ------------------ Denise |

Denise, thank you, the glass ceiling, that's pretty much it. but it feels more like a wall I keep banging against. Ladies, thanks for understanding my frustration. ------------------ Work like you don't need the money, love like it's never going to hurt, dance like nobody's watching.

I LOVED THIS POEM.... more power to ya girlfriend... hehe... sometimes being female isnt all that it is cut out to be.. but its the strength that we get in numbers that makes it worth it  ------------------ "If to rectify your demeanor, You must imitate another, Your philosiphy on morality Is a burden on your mentality, Your actions based on popularity, Will never fulfill you internally, Cuz the world was not blessed with equality, But rather with fake geniality. --823-- |
