The simplest explanation is the best

 Patient is as patient does:
an ideology that could speak volumes,
but patience as we know it
is often silent.
And according to the critics
it is normal for women,
a gender scorned by
those on both sides of the wall.
This comes naturally to me,
naturally I am a woman,
and due to the nature
of my feminine charms
I wait.
I am unswaying, unmoving,
unceasing,
I sit and I stay and
I wait.
But I will not be
unspeaking, unscreaming,
unintruding.
I can be patient.
I can do patient.
I cannot be silent.
