Because I'm a Woman
Because I'm a woman I'm bossy and not assertive,
Ruthless and not determined Have to keep harassment behind the curtain
Or be nervous That I'll be fired.
I don't mind being admired But I'm tired
Of the double standard, I'm tired of the sexist banter
Tired of having to be mild mannered.
I can't be too harsh And I have to do my part
To help others.
Have to always take on another's Projects, can't say I'm busy like a man,
I just don't understand.
Because I'm a woman I'm just a pretty face,
A trophy to showcase.
Even though I have a mind That works just fine
My input is declined Because that would remind
Them that I'm intelligent.
And perhaps lead to their embarrassment If it solves the problem
And involves them Reporting to me.
Always have to be happy Or it's that time of the month again.
I have to deal with all of this and then, Pretend like I don't see any of it.
The End.
