‘Toxicity’ by Natalia Lakatosova, Year 10, Thomas Clarkson Academy

Living in the modern era

Or are we are stuck in the past?

We call ourselves human!

But just without a heart,

When all we think about is woman versus equality.

Tick tock, tick tock…

Don’t we think it’s about time to see woman versus durability.

Tick tock, tick tock…

Mixed with flexibility,

Tick

And the results are sustainability.

Tock.

 

But instead we always tainted with,

Same themes, same topics, same treatment,

Same Same, driving us insane.

When does it stop?

Stop! Stop it now!

Full Stop.

 

Here we go again,

Living in the modern era,

Or are we are stuck in the past?

Turning environments into hostile settings,

While we slowly fall apart.

Same themes, same topics, same treatment,

Same Same, driving us insane.

When does it stop?

Stop! Stop it now!

Full Stop.

 

Females walking around, constantly been petted,

Judged on your looks and not by your skills,

Never mind your feelings.

At times they leave you reeling,

But instead we always tainted with,

Same themes, same topics, same treatment,

Same Same, driving us insane.

When does it stop?

Stop,

Full Stop.

 

How do you think we feel in these situations?

Being pinned and prodded at every turn,

Being called a ‘ho’ and given a ‘hi’

Same themes, same topics, same treatment,

Same Same, driving us insane.

When does it stop?

Stop,

Full Stop.
