Female You’re Born

Female You’re Born

How can one bring another life into this reality?
When yours is a past of abuse, not childhood serenity.

As, since you were five, they call you lying whore,
And no one believes you’ve done settled the score.

Those who claim to serve and protect,
State you are not worthy of their respect.

They say you’re still worthless slave and wanton slut.
Though you have never been so; the doors slam shut.

As you were robbed of innocence and decency,
So will this be the fate of your own prodigy.

For the chain of abuse remains unbroken in this life for you;
As daughter, wife or mother; the bruises remain black and blue.

The scars no one sees for they’re part of your psyche,
They say you’re to blame as depressed and half crazy.

Why you’re not normal and never were a part of the plan,
Of this fucked up world created by and for the ego of man.

This is their explanation when justice you’re denied,
And your civil rights violated as they continue to hide,

Behind a coat of lies and deceit,
Because you refuse to compete,

In their game of chance that has a loaded deck.
“You are here to serve us, and don’t you forget.

Remember your place bitch, or pay for it.
We’re going to rape and break your spirit.

You were made for us to abuse,
Degrade, and are here for us to use.

As we call you foul names,
You deserve to feel the shame.

We have the right by our Lord, God above;
You’re a whore, bitch and not worthy of His love.”

So why did you believe against all evidence,
That you could break the chain of circumstance?

The life you are placed on this earth to endure,
Never to know freedom or peace but to ensure;

That Almighty Man is your Master and Lord,
The abuse you earned as female you’re born.

Author's Note: The only ally of abuse is 'silence'. Whatever it is you have suffered as a child or an adult, you are not at fault as a victim. Write about it, talk about it, anywhere and everywhere you can. Silence is what allows abuse to continue. Giving the abuser his/her own dirty laundry to wash, no matter who he/she may be, is the only way to release the pain and end your own anguish. Thoughts and feelings are NOT facts. That does not make them any less valid, but as a survivor of incest, sexual, physical, spiritual and emotional abuse, I can only repeat my own discovery; stick to the facts. Remember that you have value, and that your life is important and so are your rights.
