What does it mean to be a woman ?
It means to be overlooked
But still stared at
It means to be underfoot
Yet still fall flat
It is being belittled
But never given slack
It is all the snide comments
You hear behind your back
It is the colour pink
And it’s negative connotation
It is trying to remain a child
Despite constant sexualisation
It is never being enough
Yet always being too much
It is constantly being underestimated
And still rising above
It is having the power of life
In the palm of our hand
But our ideas still being pushed
Under everything pre planned
It is being buried
Before we take our first breath
It is being over dramatic
when we cry over the cruel hand of death
It is being told that I throw like a girl
Fight like a girl
Cry like a girl
And being told that is bad
But what if I can
Lead like a girl
Fight like a girl
What if a girl is all I am ?
Is that so bad ?
