Attack of the Genders


You would be beautiful

without the help from cosmetic products

 

    Why don't you look like the woman

    from that one billboard?

 

Guys don't even have to put in effort

with their appearance 

 

    The guys at my school aren't as attractive

     as they are at yours

     

Every month

my uterus puts me through hell

 

    Try not being able to stand up

    simply because an attractive girl walked by

 

You're so fortunate 

for not being anatomically capable of giving birth

 

    You're lucky

    you don't have to be on the defensive side of P.M.S.

 

Why do boys and girls find nothing wrong

with arguing on who has the short end of the stick 

when nobody can control what they were born with

 

Why do we criticize each other 

for not constantly looking airbrushed

 

Why are their individuals out there

who can't fall in love with themselves

all because they aren't societies norm

 

Why are we not applauding them

for their differences

 

Why
