Breaking form// breaking out

 I saw that girl walking home
Her arms outstretched
Hands uncovered in the biting wind
Holding, of all things
A book.

Did Adam and Eve begin the cycle of sexism? Was Christianity just another excuse to dominate and oppress? Cynicism is rotting my soul, but I'm afraid of not knowing the truth.

I resent that the most a high school girl wants for herself is a date to the upcoming dance.
I resent that when you see someone running outside, you assume it's a male.
I resent stereotypes, I resent having to get dressed in the morning, I resent gender roles, and I resent society.
Bitter full of this bitterness breaking into my heart.
How do you reclaim your innocence? How do you make this all
Stop.
