Women are not “pure beings” to be worshipped, or vilified if they stray from that, but human beings with their own desires. #Poetry
She’s romanticized She’s idealized Put on a pedestal And immortalized
A symbol of nurture and purity Of sweetness and naivety She is glorified for either Her domesticity or virginity But deprived of her Individuality and sexuality
She personifies compassion and endurance Burdened with suffering and penance Yet she is just a human being With needs, wants and desires unseen
She likes to touch and to feel And to fantasize with zeal If she enjoys porn and sensuality, Why must she feel guilty?
Her urges and desires, Like smoldering fires, Ebb and grow, In a rhythmic flow, Until a climax transpires A moment of bliss She pursues all on her own A private pleasure To be treasured alone
She isn’t a witch or a bitch or a freak with a twitch She’s just a woman with an itch
It’s true Women get horny too And guess what? It’s not new
Girls it’s time to Break free from this secret And to fan the flames Sans the guilt and the regret
