the endless cycle of violence towards women
used, endlessly used
for our bodies, childrearing
money
what isn't given, is taken
manipulated
gaslit
we are kept on shelves, for display only
ignored until needed
we are attacked even as children
our whole lives
we fight, survive, die inside
we die bleeding tears of rage
some, trusting the hand
that killed us
and, no matter how we try to protect them
we watch it happen to our daughters too
every girl born will carry
the rage of women
the endless cycle repeats
