And still they gawk

And still they stalk

And still you’re forced to look down.

And still they grope

And still they rape

Yet again, they tell you the fault’s your own.

So still you trudge; hopeless, bound –

And still don’t dare to make a sound.

So still they judge, be seen not heard,

Because ‘feminism’ has now become a derogatory word.

So still you think of complying –

Conforming, obeying, satisfying.

But your dreams are unbridled, boundless as the sea

And your heart desires not what is, but what could be.

So you, my love, you must break free

For your soul defines infinity.

I read this over quite a few times. I love poetry and really know good poetry when I see it (Tbh it's not hard to spot bad poetry) but this was so good. Keep going at it babygirl
