Jennifer H.’s Womanifesto
Nice tits
you say, as though you expect me to
wink and say thank you
Your empty, tainted eyes
climb up my legs and under my skirt
while your hands try to do the same
Tough shit, boys...
I’m not your candy store
I’m your waitress, not your whore.
Never touch me uninvited
And no, eye contact is not an invitation.
Try it again... I dare you.
I will not allow you to measure my worth by my DD’s
I will prove you wrong
when you smugly imply that
big breasts equal a vacant mind
Your glassy-eyed stare
at the rise of my tits
shows me who’s empty-headed here.
I’m smarter than you’ll ever be
and I’m gonna let you know it.
I will fight back when you grab me
When you force my hand to your pants
I will not let you talk me out of my indignation
It wasn’t “innocent” or “harmless” to me.
I will no longer wait for someone to
defend my honor
like some damsel in distress.
My honor, my spirit, my truth
They are mine and mine alone
I will defend them to my death.
Trust me, cowboy
your five dollar tip ain’t worth
what you’re trying to take
My cunt is priceless
my treasure that can be shared
but never taken
You may invade her, violate her
you may leave her shaken and bruised
but she will heal
and she will always be mine and mine alone.
You almost had me fooled—
I was low, underground, looking up at you
batting my eyelashes
hoping you might throw me a bone... so to speak.
But I climbed up on my own
passed you by, and took flight.
Turns out I never needed you at all.
You can keep your penis power
your little hammer, pounding at life
as though your were trying to beat it into submission.
Pussy power is where it’s at.
I will not apologize for my strength
I will not hide it from you
to let you feel dominant
to let you feel like the Big Man
when I know the real truth.
My strength is my own.
My cunt is my own.
My life is mine, and mine alone.
Tough shit, boys...
this candy store is closed.
