Toxic

Fuck politeness; it isn’t for me
It’s for the benefit of the patriarchy
I am not blind
I clearly see
That this world is still full of gender inequality
Discriminated from birth
It’s society’s curse
Why am I more likely to be in the back of a hearse?
Death at the hands of a man
Who can’t understand
How to handle rejection when my face is deadpan
I am sick of entitlement and I am sick of this violence
So I’ll use my voice, we won’t suffer in silence
I’m talking toxic masculinity
Beyond this vicinity
When will we see the end of it, this wretched proclivity?
And the tendency to assume
Since you came out the womb
“It’s a man’s world”, with no elbow-room
