A Paradoxical Women

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 ?
