silenced by men
and their greed
because they feel
the need to
speak for me.
sit down and
watch as i
speak for myself
want for myself
need for myself
l o v e & s a v e
m y s e l f
every
single
time
with or without him
if your feminism was real,
then you wouldn’t speak for
us in one poem and bash us
in the next stanza.

Powerful. I really like the title too bc it draws it all together. At first I was like, “what?” But then I read the poem and got it.
I really liked the structure as well.
