Men Ain’t

 Men Ain't

I’m not who I used to be

Sacrificing what I want

Giving a diluted 

Version of me

All the hues muted

Always taking less

Always needing more

I’m not your Bella Donna 

Not your virgin whore

Answered all your calls

When you would ring

Return your texts

Star Trek speed that’s

Warped

And when I dig down deep

Archeologize where I’ve been

Swept the dirt he left

Confessed all my pseudo sin

Put it in a pile

Bound together with his

Acid tip

Every sharp rejoinder 

Tore me bit by bit

I know I’ll be alright 

Cuz men ain’t shit

Men ain’t shit

He left me

A desiccated form

Bound with linen lies

All my vital organs

In Canopic  jars

I know I’ll be alright 

Cuz men ain’t shit

Men ain’t shit

I’m not your Cleopatra 

Not rolling 

Outta rugs

for you

I’m your Woman

Pharaoh 

Who already

Sent you on your way

Keep on wandering 

in your wilderness

You

Snaking

little 

Bitch

I know I’ll be alright

She’ll be alright 

Cuz men ain’t shit

You ain’t shit

Covered you 

With  scars

from my 

Poison tits

Put my voodoo

On you

To save 

The next her

Witch 

Cuz men ain’t shit

You ain’t shit
