Chivalry used to be alive and well among men. They would run through puddles to open and hold the door for a lady. Men would spontaneously buy a women flowers with a simple card reminding her that she is loved and beautiful. Today, however, it seems chivalry has died. Men care more about how large a women's breasts and butt are. They do not open doors, rather they open DM's with a vulgar message such as "ur a hottie.. send nudes?". Dates have become nothing more than him wanting to make out with a girl in a car. We live in a generation where physical attraction and beauty seem to be the only important thing. Men do not hesitate to take advantage and act on these attractions. Here is my poem from the perspective of a young female living in this society.
What He Wants
His lips began to clench together
His game has changed
I don't want to play
His skin like glue
I try to free myself
Only to get stuck more
His fingers a python
Wrapping itself around its prey
I am suffocating
His voice remains hauntingly calm
One thought in mind
None in mine
