Just A Women
by Marianna Brogna, junior literary editor
When she is capable of so little,
Underestimation is her middle name
Because she is just a woman.”.

Give a chuckle
As she shrugs it off,
Letting the laughter define her
Because it’s just a joke.
Staying at home
Dominance stumbles through the door
Submissive to the calloused hand
Just an argument.
Shamed for consumption
Because it’s not “Victoria’s Secret” status
Thighs “the size of Texas”,
Just popping dietary pills.
Forceful pursuit
Her uninterest and denial is useless.
Testosterone sent into overdrive,
Just another unsolved case.
Temper, temper
Too many tear drops,
As natural as the crumbling uterus walls,
She’s just on her period.
She can only do so much,
When she is capable of so little,
Underestimation is her middle name
Because she is just a woman.
