I Am a Woman

I am a woman, So I must be perfect. I am a woman, So I can't be too fat or too thin. Too ambitious or too meek. Too smart or too stupid. Too sexy or too prudish. My life is defined by boundaries I must stay within to please society. Because I am a woman. And no matter how I fight these walls, They hold me me in. I'm trapped. Physically. Psychologically. Socioeconomically. Because I am a woman. Because when I try to stand for myself, I am too loud. Too bossy. Too angry. I cannot do anything without a critical, demeaning eye. Because I am a woman. When will I be free?
