She doesn't know the difference
Of what rolls around her head put there by society.
The world questions who you are and
Who you want to be like?
But never asks- who you are right now.
The monster within a sheer beauty of
Skin and flesh
A guy- underneath something hidden-
That everyone knows yet she does not.
But she was never taught to question.
She was never taught to doubt
Her own motives or others
She was taught to be quite
Never object, or yell.
instead, she was taught to sit and let it happen
Even if everyone knew fine well-
It was wrong.
She was blind.
A veil covered her scarred, delicate face, from
Scars of past lovers and beauty were all that was left.
Her single mere existence was wiped away, torn, trashed-
By the pushing of her rejecting legs
To a lover, she didn't love.
He was different- She thought.
But the importance of what she thought
Was a rule she never knew.
If the world is to shape us who we are today,
Then why did society let that happen?
Why did the universe say it was okay when
She clearly screamed no.
For the monster in him- to rip at her body
Bare her, skin and bones.
Exposing her sacred treasures
To a lover, she didn't love.
Things that don't make sense
Make more sense
Then the universal knowledge
That's taught through a path
That doesn't always lead you
To the right side,
But you still need to pass through it
Anyways,
Because that's what society has taught
But society was wrong.
Men and Woman don't say it's okay
Through what they wear and what they look like
The decision is not for others to make.
It's not for what society makes it to be.
But instead of taking a path
She was given through the lessons
Of humanity and lectures of what is right
She demands she makes her own.
