The school pays no mind and makes a little girl pay the ultimate price because the school clock says there is no time
No time for a woman to be a woman
Because outdated textbooks and sentence structure mean more than the period at the end
Of the day
There’s more than enough time they say but
When she rushes back to class, everything is
Red
The flow of life
The greatest abomination
Drips down her leg
It makes no sense
The thoughts placed in her head like
All the things her teacher should have said
It makes no sense
No time for a woman to be a woman
When everything is red
