It's a parent

It's apparent?
someone like me should learn
more about self-defense
I won't, I don't, I haven't...
and I never wore body armor
I should have remembered a breast plate
or a helmet at least

Women are soft
or so we're told
We're the gentler sex
or has that grown old?

There is nothing wrong with
having the door opened
for us
There is nothing wrong with
being treated as the people
we are

The people who stay
and try to keep peace
the people who stay
for the kids' sake

The people who stay
in the great big unknown
that tries to call itself home
Yet shatters,
when things go wrong

There's nothing wrong
with having a black eye
There's nothing wrong
with being locked outside naked
There's nothing wrong
when it all turns out wrong
There's nothing wrong
in turning out right

Women are soft
when you turn out the light
Women are soft
except when we fight

Women are soft
when you turn out the light
Women are soft
until we grab a knife

Women are soft
they are playthings
not in a boxing ring
Women are soft
until we're hurt
for the last time
