Reclaiming girly, glittery, pink shit because I spent my childhood avoiding 'girly things' because i wanted to be one of the boys and climb trees and wanted to be respected. well you know what you can climb trees, mountains and anything else you want to climb and wear pink because pink = girly = does not mean inherently weaker/inferior. #examininginternalisedmysogny

lucky

*Trigger Warning* This is a random poem I wrote a few weeks ago when some awful shit happened and I needed to let some energy out so I thought I would put it here instead of forgetting about it in the depths of my laptop.

I have been locked inside the safe cab home,

Whilst one pries my thighs apart

And the other laughs,

And makes the next left turn.

 Because I am a women,

And I am one of the lucky ones.

 Another day I walk the few miles home

I guess I am safer on my own

And just my luck

I am offered a fuck from a window of a van.

 Because I am a women,

And I am one of the lucky ones.

 Tonight I am drunk;

I will be careful - I will walk with a friend.

But he says that this favour

Merits more than a walk to my door.

 And who I am to argue?

 I am just a women,

And I am one of the luckiest I know.

I am striving every single day to give less of a fuck and be my authentic self. But I am so tired of being criticised/mocked for loving floral things, for liking a nice place to live, for not banging drugs multiple times a week, for liking walks in the countryside. When did kindness and softness become a something to be ashamed off, when was how hard you went on a night outs valued more than how compassionate you are to other human beings. When did snorting coke until 8 am become a prominent aspect of having fun and caring about your health/degree/people became a joke.

having plans sounds like a good idea until you have to put on clothes and leave your house
