The Woman Who Went Too Far

The Woman Who Went Too Far

There was once upon a time
a woman 
who went too far.

She was stopped
and fell down.

She was not the Humpty Dumpty type.

Slooooooooooowly
she gathered her pieces
and made her back straight again. 
Despite million tons of weight
pulling her down, 
finally 
she managed to get up.

She stood up and shook her hair. 

She walked here, she walked there,
Until she went so far again.


So far is too far! 
Said the men who loved her.

So far is too far! 
Said the men who did not want her.

So far is too far! 
Said the women who could not understand her.

Let’s go too far!
Said the women who were not afraid.

Without You

Without you


I am without you
I do not know you
I miss you
I have always known you.

I want you to become like me!
I hate myself  in you.
Change yourself!
Hell wants you!

With you I am still without you.
