Oh, so you know me then?
So, you know it’s a reflection on you
Every victory I win is a Sin:
A sign of your weakness to lose to a Girl?
So you know, do you, that my tears aren’t real
It’s HORMONES right?
I can’t be rational, after all
My body isn't made for maths?
It’s not angles; it’s curves
That your Pythagor-ass couldn’t understand.
Oh, do I offend you then?
Shame the history shoved down your throat
Chokes you with stories of Boys
Forgetting that other humans made them.
Of course, you know
That you open doors for me?
And pay for me?
And guard my honour?
And answer for me?
But I’m not some Barbie:
These feet aren’t made for heels
And these knees aren’t made for the ground
So maybe you realise
You don’t know me at all.
