Woman

(1)
life is beautiful
"access granted" labelled
savor those moments
(2)
as darkness descends
retreat into your cocoon
monsters rule the hour
(3)
put away your wings
shed all your brilliant hues
they hunt sans remorse
(4)
bear, rear, endlessly care
you but do your job, woman
forget gratitude
(5)
rebel if you must
singed wings will not unfold
sunlight will not mend
