"rage could never ruin women. It could only set us free. And I for one, was ready to be free." - E.L. Black in Rage Ruins Pretty Girls

I am from a man's limb, part of the source, dim.

Where men float, I swim. They eyed my whim.

Amazed by my flame, they wanted to be the same.

Suddenly it became a game of claim, one where I'm put to shame.

They blamed me for wanting to be more, all I wanted was to float.

Never granted access to the boat, So I wrote, I highlighted the quotes.

I only found asylum in paper. All their voices turned to vapor.

They said to protect yourself from the raper, never blaming him for taking her.

they said I was a faker, all because I wanted greater.
