monster that wouldn’t go to bed.
his historic sense of pride
fueled us to propel him toward the top of the climb
the smirk of egotism swiped across his lips -
“honey, just give me a kiss,”
minute by minute plucked away from each night
as we attempt to trudge the very “who” that
holds us back from vivacious dreams, goodnight -
the losing battle of respect for our dignity
sinks in - each time his threats dig into me
the pink flesh of the same phallus
that contributed to the birth of me,
now has one too many times taunted me..
i can’t even begin to fathom the fact
that many pretend to not comprehend
the haunting affect of the very monster,
begging for his girls to “say big,”
before trying to tuck him into his drunken slumber.
