The Weight Of The Pen
<p>I put my pen down for a time,</p><p> Hoping for a quieter world. </p><p>I had written a simple warning, </p><p>And watched the argument unfurl.</p><p></p><p>I wrote about anger turning inward, </p><p>How fighting hate with hate is wrong. That calling all men the enemy,</p><p>Means the real message is gone.</p><p></p><p>They told me I was a traitor,</p><p> That I didn't understand the fight.</p><p> So I stayed quiet in the noise, </p><p>And hid myself from sight.</p><p></p><p>But then I saw it, styled and pretty,</p><p> “Misandry" as a cool new trend. </p><p>Not a fight for what is equal,</p><p> Just a different way to offend.</p><p></p><p>This toxic song on a repeating track, </p><p>This bitter rhythm we all know.</p><p> It’s time to finally break the cycle, </p><p>It’s time to let the old tune go.</p><p></p><p>So I’m picking my pen up again. </p><p>This isn’t strength, it’s just spite. </p><p>The goal was never “women win,”</p><p> It was for everyone to see the light.</p><p></p><p>To say that being cruel isn't power,</p><p> And that justice has no gender. </p><p>We’re supposed to be building a better table, </p><p>Not just waiting for a turn to be the offender.</p>
