Female Friends

Lady spiders Ferocious and venomous Twisting webs of lies Hiding under veiled faces And fake personas Sure they lend you a tampon But they never show up when you need them They'll compliment your fit But they're the first to say "I hate you" If you don't compliment them Preaching sisterhood and feminism Will only get you so far my dear Someday you'll learn that, Actually, I don't need you Your hair dye Your emotional baggage Or your approval I'm fine sitting in the library by myself Walking to class by myself I am solitary and I am singular I'll leave you, So long as I have my sanity intact Meet new people Cycle of abuse starts again Why can't I have nice female friends?
