Irrational

This is what we are known as.

Meant to dismiss us, keep us

Quiet and sidelined. You cry,

irrational, rage, irrational, 

laugh, irrational all because

You were born a woman.

Because we would rather 

Not touch the emotions 

Which bubble at the top 

For us. Denial and labeling

Discounts and slowly we 

Put it away. Living as if we

Don't know these things.

Rational, we miss the tears

which bind us to each other.

We miis the anger because

It's not acceptable to hear it.

We miss the play which helps 

Us face life. Shut up, gone.

We have finally lost it.
