Contains strong language. 

Girl, know this
In this body you must learn to shape-shift
Join and separate, obscure and enhance
One being in a dual-form body
Be you the fruit-bearer
Wife, mother, blessed womb,
Be you the fighter
Bitch, trouble-maker, slut, difficult to work with

Woman, you know
In this body you must stand up for yourself Defend and challenge, infuriate and placate And the split-existence of maturity
Is it pornography?
Maybe it's just a body
In the act of just being
No source of any shame
Not a target for blame
