I wanna man who
makes me feel like a wom- no, a wom-
no, no, a wom-bat,
a wombat!
descended from giants,
champion digger.
He should know
I can tunnel through
anything,
make my own way
out.
a swipe away from wild,
champion climber.
He should know
I was built to rise
above,
claw my own way
up.
I want a man who
makes me feel like a ma'am,
A man who hears my hiss
and whispers back:
I see you.
I walk careful.
You're safe.

Awhile ago, a friend of mine ran into a guy who told her he wanted "a woman who made him feel like a man"- and this poem happened after I thought way too much about that sentence, haha!
