It’s hard to be a woman

of any race or religion

with or without rights

Sometimes, I’m basic

and other days, I’m weird; demanding

I’m not a prude

but am I asking for it?

Still, who am I to trust the word of boys

still my age, but half my maturity

Yet when my teacher pulled me close to him

did I fight back?

Maybe that’s why I spend hours

in my room lifting weights

Only to be told I’m a woman;

 

I’m not supposed to be strong.
