Dissonance
There is no love for a woman like me No love for a woman that dresses like me that hides like me that prays like me There is no god for a woman like me A woman that does not pray enough a woman that doesn’t cover enough a woman that has a voice A woman like me- has been told two things in her life; one is that I will surely burn in hell. The second is that whatever I wish to do is unattainable, thanks to the love I have for the God that would condemn me. I am not a woman yet though says my father in his authoritative voice And why would i need love love is comfort God's necessity Arrangement has always been part of my life a part I don't control those who arrange me defile me I have always been defiled I do not pray anymore My god is my love A women like me is not allowed love but i am no woman I am but a girl So defiled i breathe polluted air and who would have me My mother says I have no tact or decorum No respect for a male- a male that would rip from me ever...
