I am an old gun
With a short fuse
I get uptight sometimes and
Just want to let loose
No strings
No promises
No expectations
Just blind passion
Life can be difficult
When you aren’t a follower
When you cant just say “yes sir”
No box to fit in
Not willing to fold
Into anyone else’s mold
So many sheep
So many manipulative herders
I refuse to take a number
No conformity from me
Neither a sheep
Nor a herder
Do I choose to be
Do not mistake
My lack of submissiveness
As support for “feminists”
I detest what “feminism” has done
To the sacredness of femininity
I am an old gun
With a short fuse
I get tired of others
Telling me how to use
My mind
My body
My political and religious views
My freedom to think
I will hold onto
Everyday
In every way
Regardless of
The consequences
