reckoning

what's the value of a woman?
and why do men think they get to decide?
never looking past the surface
to see the soul inside

close your mouth, open your legs
did you really think he'd be interested
in what you just said?

it hardly mattered who you were
or what you think
you may as well be dead
the spirit inside withered
from all the neglect

he gives you a gift then sends you a bill
and wants you to treat him as a lover will
you will not take it anymore
he can't keep treating you like
his mother-whore

you are more than the sum of your parts
and he sucks since he wouldn't
see the whole of you from the start

finally, finally choose yourself first
you missed out on so much
and have such a thirst
to experience, all that life has to offer
maybe someday, you will know
what it's like to truly be cared for
girl, never again let yourself suffer
at the careless hands of another
