A girl is never fully dressed
without a sword
For a sword is essential protection
and vital defense
Against the slings and arrows
and dirty looks
You never know when you'll need it
A girl is never fully dressed
without a sword
Sharpened and honed over the years
and well oiled
So that it gleams in the light
when withdrawn
From a scabbard always at the ready
A girl is never fully dressed
without a sword
So that she may show the world why
not to fuck
With a girl who carries a sword
and not afraid
To wield it in her righteous rage
A girl is never fully dressed
without a sword
One that has been forged in anger
tempered in fear
And sharp enough to slice clean
through her enemies
The ones that are real and imagined
A girl is never fully dressed
without a sword
One that is double edged and dangerous
wielded inexpertly
So that if it bounces back it can
wound each victim
Whether they deserve it or not
A girl is never fully dressed
without a sword
But maybe a girl needs to learn
how to accept
That sometimes she will need to be
partially undressed
