Strangled Hearts

Laughter accompanies your offhand comments, your insensitive jests. You see it all as fun, yet every careless word tears away a little of the unsteady foundation we have struggled so hard to build. Every joke every sideways glance, every name every ignorant remark. They stranlge our hearts and dull out strength. Fuck you, the sexism ends here. I've put up with it all; we've put up with it all. We've heard all the joked, been subject to all insults, our names have headlined bullshit rumores; reputations have been shattered by your imaged penis machinations. Fuck you, the sexism ends here. We are all here together, we share the same space, respect what we have, don't throw it back in my face. I don't want to keep screaming without being heard.
