    Is it unnatural or humane
    The pain I feel?
    I can taste the rust
    When I bite my tongue too often
    I can taste that its ages old
    Passed on by my blood in my blood
    It was detested, yet swallowed hard again and again
    I loathed it and spit it out never to taste it again                                                                                                               Men say I’m too educated
    It made me crazy
    I’m far too drawn by the allure of westernization
    Forgot the rituals of homeland
    My dress is too short and my dreams are too big
    Bite your tongue young lady and don’t speak out of turn
    It’s boys club I was told too often
    I’m too young to not be smitten, yet too old to not know the taste of blood
    Bite your tongue, you shouldn’t speak
    Your blood’s fresh, where’s the rust
