Life Of A Woman
I stand on the street, hoping to meet the one
Instead many whistle, stare
I start walking, soon jogging from the embarrassment of being a woman
Being called out for my body
Too thin some yell, juicy and sweet others say
I get into my car, scared I call my mother
I'm told just as I was when I was younger "Boys will be Boys"
I still try to thrive in a society where my gender brings embarassment
Where my brain, no matter the facts I bring up, will always be less than a mans.
My word holds less weight than a mans,
My body more important than what I believe.
Too beautiful for such strong thoughts,
Living in a world where being a Woman brings embarassment.
