Description
You’re a woman,
There are expectations,
The media
And it’s manipulations,
Will drive into you,
Not to get fat,
Work out more,
Simple as that.
Watch what you eat,
Gotta stay trim,
No one will want you,
If you're not thin.
And make sure you smile!
Keep it sweet,
And sexy too!
(You’re a piece of meat).
Your face must be smooth,
On those wrinkles crackdown,
Because smile lines it seems, are a reason to frown,
So get on the botox and fill up your face,
Don’t you dare look old!
You’ll be a disgrace.
Your ass must be phat,
Your waist super tiny,
Your breasts cannot sag,
And your skin must be shiny.
In the workplace..
You want to achieve,
But don’t get big for your boots,
Because believe,
You’ll be known as a bitch,
Just ‘cause you rise,
If you play tough...
you’re the devil in disguise,
You won’t get paid quite as much either,
Because ya know, we’re still ‘inferior’
And let’s not forget in life what we,
As women must make sure we be,
Caretaker,
Mother,
Chef and cleaner,
Basically a glorified housekeeper,
With the added bonus of being a mother
And a perfect one too, otherwise don’t bother.
And if your timeline,
Isn’t as it should be,
God help you,
There must be something wrong you see -
Don’t hesitate,
Find a mate,
procreate,
Better not wait,
It’ll be too late,
Freeze your eggs!
The clock is loud,
Being ‘on the shelf’ is not allowed.
Don’t cry,
Act ‘crazy’
Run amuck,
Don’t want to get labelled a “fucking slut”
Stay polite,
And poised
With your chin up,
And do it all with perfect make up.
These are the things we’re lead to believe,
Make up the ‘real woman’ like we’re naive,
We know we’re more, and can be less..
It’s up to us, how we think, how we dress,
How we express ourselves, on the daily, because did you ever think that just maybe,
We’re wild and untamed, in whichever way we choose, when you feel this free, you just can’t lose.
Beat to your own rhythm, you perfect creature,
Your beautiful soul is your best feature,
Just follow your instinct,
I’ll watch you soar
I am woman! I hear you roar
