A Women's Burden
Posted On: 10/30/08 @ 10:38 AM

A Women's Burden

Somehow I've stumbled from grace in the eyes of man
iregardless of my sacrifice
despite my salvation
I slit my wrists and bleed.....
self pity
self destruction
self hate
onto his hands
But he doesn't bother to cleanse them
He just digs deeper into my virginity
as I silently bleed some more
While his hands grope for pleasure,
his lips kiss for joy
And I am expected to understand...
why he chose me
I bear his weight
as he shifts
as he strains
as he grow
burying his trouble inside - giving up his load
freely imparting it to me
I often try and cleanse myself through tears
sobbing
cries
only to be expected to recieve
the weight
the load
again...
and again
But now when I bleed
he tells me to clean myself
I'm a mess
and I've got other things to do - for him
Bear his children
Support his goals
Accept his discretions
Abide in his world
I....
I....
I.....seem to have stumbled from grace
in the eyes of man
irregardless of my sacrifice
despite my salvation
And when I slit my wrists and bleed....
self pity
self destruction
self hate
onto his hands
He doesn't bother to cleanse them
He just digs deeper into my loyality
as I silently bleed some more
his hands groping for pleasure
his lips kissing for joy
And I am expected to understand...
why he chose me

Hello my sister, A Women's Burden speaks for every woman in some form or fashion. A Rew reality
tht's why as women we MUST put in a change of address because Defeat is no longer living in
our zip code. I'm sharing this piece that I shared with my friend Ms. Poeticg-2, It needs a title.
I welcome critique and suggestions.  Please.  It is a message from working women to their bosses:
Hope you enjoy the read.

I work 12 hours everyday
can't tell it by my pay
Working harder than anyone and
keeps on working when they're done

I am the only woman and
you make it hard
just waiting for me to fall apart

In the break room I heard you say
I bet all she's good for is a good lay

I'm no Trick or Concubine
I'm not an idiot I have a good mind

Well educated trained to sit behind a desk
I'm more qualified than most of the rest

I dress nice and smell nice to
I am Woman
and I'm standing up to you

You really needed to re-evaluate
before you asked me out for a date

Now you've been ordered to walk out
that door and don't you ever again
treat a good woman 
like she's your whore

This  can be sort of a metaphor for women working in a so called "mans world", especially in the corporate arena. Regardless of how intellectual you may be, a lot of women are still being degraded
by men who are only groping for one thing, total self gratification...great job PoetressForever!
