Stop Complaining
Yes, but it is easy being in my situation
To be this image of perfection because
That's what society wants
That's what will get me a job
That's what will get me into college
Do I want to do this stuff?
No, I do not. But it's easy
To put on make up when you don't want to
Every Single Day.
To spend hours deciding what I want to wear
Every single day.
I want to do what I want
without the fear of being judged.
And wear what I want
without the fear of being raped.
I didn't ask for it
I ddn't ask to be judged or raped
I just want to do what is comfortable to me
Whether that's wearing as little
or as much as I want.
I don't want to tell you about my issues
without the fear of you thinking I'm dramatic
or on my period
What's the easiest is that I have to be an image of
Perfection
Sexuality
Intelligence
Sophistication
Moral Value
All at the same time
So yes it is easy being a female
I didn't ask for it
But that's what I am
And that's what I have to be
