Systemic
Patriarchal religion
Puritanical beliefs
Screwed up
Both men and women
And all the humans
In between
Shaming
Shunning
Suppressing
Our wildness
Our naturalness
Our wholeness
Splitting us
Into what we show the world
And what we hide
Calling us sinners
For what's inside
Until we choose
The path of individuation
And begin
The arduous journey
To set ourselves free
To courageously
Save ourselves
From the death of oppression
That we continue
To enact on ourselves
And each other
Until we face
Our deepest
Darkness
Our deepest
Fears.
