Believe Women....

Believe women.

It needs to be everyone’s mission, not just HER in the kitchen.

Believe women.

Lying in linen there is no permission given.

Believe women.

A mathematician counting the bruises and words thrown like daggers, pain can be hidden.

Believe women.

Her life is a crimson exhibition.

A game that weaves between conceive, grieve, receive and ‘why won’t she leave’.

Believe women.

She was just too naïve, wouldn’t listen, forbidden to have ambition.

HER life became a prison, her spirit tied down with invisible ribbons, no recognition just another acquisition.

Believe women.

The magician and his coalition exercising power to deceive, filled with propositions and no inhibitions.

Believe women.

The politicians don’t listen. There are 26 women and counting - forget the petitions, definitions, opposition, do we need another royal commission?

It’s all overwritten, missing a real definition.

Believe women.

As old as religion, women are pitted in competition, OUR agendas always misconceived.

Believe women.

Time for a new edition. For too long women have forgiven, living their lives as one long audition.

Believe women.

Feeling bereaved, waiting for reprieve, making provisions, disappearing for one last expedition.   

Believe women.

What would her definition be? Would she ever reveal the truth of her condition? A life filled with division ending with one fatal incision.

Believe women.

An omission of guilt.  I am done. She is done. We are done.

Believe women.

When we believe women they can leave or achieve.

A life of fruition, she turns on the ignition – finally her OWN decision.

She has risen.

Believe women.
