Tiresome this halo
the repercussions
Instincts cheetah fierce
domesticity a struggle
Shameful, this confession
perhaps – had to be said
No pussycat here
just a woman who’s real.

I love the metaphor! (Oddly enough, the poem brought to mind the old Tom Jones “Pussycat” song. That particular pussycat was not at all a real woman.)
