Bedside Tale

 


So, you think just because you slept around,
Twelve women deep to prove your masculinity,
You can shame a woman?
Boasting— at least you’re not a virgin?
Tapping a woman just to show you’re a man?

I guess you skipped chapters in decency and biology.
There is no pride in that—be it man or woman.
And yet, you preach about being the good guy?

Would your blood still boil if your sister was left high and dry?
Or would you blame her—she should have built a home?
Do you think real women are pornstars?

The audacity of men like you,
Trying to explain a woman’s body to herself.
Is your mother still teaching you this?
That girl seduced you, enchanted you—for your money?
Like seriously? If that were true,
Even Fiona wouldn’t have been with the Ogre.

You want feminine women, yet ask, do you like to touch yourself?
Your mother warned you of gold diggers,
But forgot to teach you respect for someone’s daughter?

Spare your lectures when it comes to me,
I was standing up for other girls—
Against the creeps who tried to snag a picture
Even when I was just a teen.
Against men ogling at women,
Even while holy dipping,
When I was only a child.

So your labels—crazy, psycho, nutjob?
They won’t stick to me.
Try all you want,
But you’ll never shut my voice.

Amazon Worker

Hey there Amazon Worker, Do you think you pulled one over? Mocked my vulnerable side, only to protect your fake pride. I can’t fathom why I ever asked you to pamper and protect. Your wealth was never my concern, yet you watched my trust burn. As I began to share how I felt, you made a snide remark, hitting below the belt. Do you think I care if people change the way they stare? I’m no longer trying to hide; the girl you knew has long died. It’s amusing now that you said I remind you of your mother— What kind of devil hurts the daughter of another? Everyone says to forgive and forget since you were only a child. I would if you didn’t parade your weak masculinity, born of Rothschild. Your false grandeur can’t erase the damage done, I’ve found my strength and my journey’s just begun. If you thought you were good for my image, Know this: my growth surpasses your limits. I’m a woman whose name you can’t tear from the page, And I will stand tall, owning my own stage. ~ Kanika Kau...

Not So Bhavya

Oh, drop the good guy act, You pretended to care, that's a fact. Someone who was hiding their own shame, Called me psycho and crazy, how lame. You tried to charm me with your coffer, Brushed off my pain, saying, “Stop it, or else I won’t buy a lightsaber.” You took all you could and then asked what I have to offer? Funny how you wanted to burn it all down when you lost your maker, But when I cried and screamed, called me a big faker. You claimed to know love, but never took the time, To understand my heart, my rhythm, my rhyme. You wrapped me in darkness while claiming the light, But all you offered was a hollow delight. Now your shadows fade, and I choose to ignite, I’ll weave my own stories, reclaiming my flight.
