I feel trapped.
In this body that consumes me,
Bleeds for humanity's growth
And is commercialized
As meat for pleasure.
I am caged.
In the society that binds me
In the conditioning, I was taught
In the resistance of my questions.
I feel suffocated.
In the idea of someone in your head
Of what a woman should and shouldn't be
The roles you want me to play
The character you want me to be.
What if I want to break free?
Express my thoughts, live my dreams
Stand by my opinion, refuse your ideas?
I become tagged and assassinated,
My character questioned,
My upbringing dragged,
My identity jeopardized.
Why?
Because a woman dared to
Act like a Man you could never be.
