Girlhood

Girlhood

A Poem by nadia dmitri
"

They want you, but at what cost?

"

Girlhood will kill you

They call you everything 

Except your own name 


Girlhood will kill you

You spend your days on your knees

Begging or serving 


Girlhood will kill you

You have played every role 

Mother, lover, dog 


Girlhood will kill you 

They want you, but at what cost? 

They just take and take 


Girlhood will kill you

I feel myself being sold

What have I become?


Girlhood will kill you

I undress my dignity 

For your hungry claws


Girlhood will kill you

Once they've had their way with you

You have lost your home 


Girlhood will kill you

You cannot escape your skin

You exist for them
