Female

Apparently, I was born wrong

But I'm not the only one

50% of the world was too

We all share the same defect

 

Because of it, our thoughts are shoved below

We are not supposed to speak

and our rights are forever questioned

 

We are not allowed to learn

Anything outside of ourselves

Due to the incapability of our brains

 

We only know how to take the blame

When someone hurts us, we enticed them

When someone threatens us, we forced them

 

I walk past you

We are equal and yet,

I am expected to move

 

I am a human

I am a person

I am more than what you say
