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?
