Ode to the Silenced Feminist

I am screaming inside of my head, 

But there is no emotion on my face,

I am telling it like it is- 

then walking out the door,

But in reality I am still as a stone,

Every inch of me is dripping in anger,

Every inch of me is sickened when I smile- 

and concede, 

But I know that I am a force to be reckoned with,

A woman with the strength of a natural disaster, 

I am no ones to conquer,

I am no ones to control,

Yet, here I am- 

screaming inside of my head,

And on the outside I’m still as a stone.
