The reality of being a woman

"You send?" 

Is way too common for women to hear

Women are not objects 

When will boys ever listen?

Women aren't just flowers, easy to pick for a male's liking

We are not a single use item

We are humans

Women should not be harassed and yet they are

Women should not get catcalled yet they do

Women should be able to live in peace yet they can't

"She's fat"

"She's ugly"

"She's worthless"

Society pressures women more and more everyday

And so I will sit here and say

This is the reality of being a woman


The author's comments:

This piece is very a strong way to tell people about the day to day struggles women face. It is mainly stating how society pressures women in whatever way it can. This is a very touchy subject for many people, and I felt like it needed to be written about so that many people can get informed about what it really means to be a woman in society.
