Original Art and Poetry by Ingrid H. Turner

 

"Enough"

 

Enough.

 

Stilettos that make our

legs long but

deform our feet.

 

Contour and shading, rosy

cheeks and knockout lips, but

can't take a lover for a night.

 

Enough.

 

Soft, silky, scent-filled

creams for our

thighs because

 

Sitting in an office with

staff and vodka, to entice

carving our face back to twenty-five.

 

Enough.

 

Straddling a boy on

one hip, and strapping

the girl to servitude

 

Climbing over a glass

ceiling and dodging

pats on the ass

 

Enough.

 

Being told to "smile!" by

old men, and grinning

through the rage, because

 

Can’t say no to sex

because boys get

mad, and that’s consent.

 

Enough.

 

Fear of the night, and

speaking up, and

saying no, fucking thank you

 

Crippling compromise, and

Terrorizing and

Traumatizing, and sitting down.

 

Enough.

 

There will be no more

holding back the

tears and the screams, because

 

Enough.

 

The women

have had

enough.
