Extinguish

dying embers

It starts slowly

Your voice softens

You speak less

Join less

Become less

And they're fine

If you spend a lot less time

Less time

Trying

Less time

Fighting

Because

A woman's voice is better

Silent

A woman's face is better

Hiding

No one bats an eye

As the fire in her

Dies.
