  What a strange thing it is
  To be discarded on account
  Of my ovaries
  Uterus willing to surrender
  Unquantifiable amounts
  Of self-sacrifice and splendor
  Lusting for my beauty
  Impatient for more
  Easily relinquish your duty
  To hold my hand through it all
  Simply because my biology
  Won’t continue your family tree
