Don't call her that
Catherine, Kaley, or Carol.
She has a name- use it.
B*tch, prude, slut.
Dont call her that.
Adjectives-turned-nouns,
Tailored, one size fits all,
For every girl
To ruin her self-esteem.
"B*tch. Prude. Slut."
Take your pick,
All will cripple her.
Words so full of malice
Have lost all true meaning
When flung at every, unsuspecting
Woman.
Her watery eyes widen
At the expected, undeserved remark.
Her cheeks redden beyond her blush
As she denies the insult.
But the damage is done.
And when the rest of the day is forgotten,
A single word remains in her conscious
To haunt her as she sleeps.
Dont call her that.
